Court records allege Patient killed a woman at Merit Health by repeatedly slamming her skull onto the floor

Court papers say that the woman who was severely abused at Merit Health earlier this year died after having her head slammed into the floor “multiple times.”

The event took place on March 5th night.

Jackson cops said at the time that the man who attacked Wendy Gilbreath was having a mental episode.

Gilbreath was taken to UMMC after the attack, but she did not make it.

According to court papers, the person she says attacked her is David Reed.

According to those papers, Reed is said to have killed Gilbreath by “grabbing her by the neck and slamming her head onto the floor multiple times.”

Reed’s lawyer asked for Reed to be sent to the Mississippi State Hospital at Whitfield in September because he was deemed unable to stand trial.
