NOXUBEE COUNTY, Miss. (WCBI) – Noxubee County Coroner R.L. Calhoun told WCBI that the body found last month in an abandoned house east of Macon has been identified.

Tadrian Shaw

Calhoun said the state crime lab has identified the deceased as Tadrian Shaw of Macon.

Shaw was reported missing back in October. He was last seen at his home in the Piney Woods area.

In December, law enforcement, acting on a tip, found a body in an abandoned house in the county.

There were indications that the body was in the right age range for Shaw, but an ID couldn’t be made until the state medical examiner performed an autopsy.

Calhoun said that the investigation into Shaw’s death is still active.
