December sentencing awaits a Vicksburg man who pleaded guilty on Monday to second-degree murder in his ex-girlfriend's June shooting death.

Jeremy Wright's pleas also covered firing into a vehicle and having a weapon despite his felony record, in the death of Clarinda Turpin.

The June shooting unfolded in the 2900 block of Clay Street. Before she died at the hospital, Turpin identified Wright as the man who shot her.

An August indictment brought the case to court, where Judge James Chaney presided on Monday.
