VIDALIA, La. — On Aug. 13, Louisiana Seventh Judicial District Judge John Reeves is scheduled to hear arguments in the case of a Natchez man charged with manslaughter after the reported assault of another inmate while incarcerated at Concordia Parish Correctional Facility.

Keyshawn Wiley had been charged with manslaughter by the Concordia Parish Sheriff’s Office after an Oct. 6, 2023, incident.

Officials said Wiley assaulted and caused critical injury to another inmate who later died at a hospital in Rapides Parish.

The two inmates involved were initially arrested by the Natchez Police Department and were being held at the Concordia Parish Correctional Facility due to security issues in the Adams County Jail.

Wiley is familiar to Natchez law enforcement, having previously served for simple assault and trespassing charges before he was arrested again in September 2023.

His arrest in September 2023 was for obstructing a public highway.
