A man and woman in their 50’s have been found shot to death in their home in Utica, according to a Hinds County Sheriff’s Department spokesman.
Officials are still searching for the next of kin, so names have not been released. The man is 56 years old, and the woman is 51, said Capt. Joe Daughtry.

A process server told authorities he went to the home at 4812 Mississippi 27 this afternoon around 1 p.m. to serve a paper. He saw a car in the driveway and looked in a window to see if the couple was home.
When he saw a pair of feet on the floor, he called for medical attention, thinking there might be a medical emergency in progress, Daughtry said.
The Utica Volunteer Fire Department Chief Sammy White, who also is a deputy coroner, responded. He entered the home and saw the first body had been shot, Daughtry said. When he saw the second, he left from inside and awaited the arrival of deputies.
The process server also waited on the scene until deputies arrived. Daughtry said the deaths are not related to the matters in the papers.
The couple appears to have been dead for several days.
Daughtry said more information will be released as it becomes available.
