A Palestine man has been arrested and charged with murder following a fatal disturbance that occurred in Anderson County on Saturday. Kerrion Darrius Miller, 27, of Palestine, was taken into custody by the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office and subsequently booked into the Anderson County Jail. The charge stems from an incident where Eunious Nixon Fulford, 57, sustained a gunshot wound and later died, according to official reports from the sheriff's office.
The events unfolded after the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office received a report of a disturbance in the 20600 block of FM 315.
