Good morning, Biloxi.

The Gulfport Biloxi International Airport will add a new direct flight to Orlando, Florida—its first route to the city—while still offering flights to Tampa and Las Vegas.

Marketing Director Chaille Munn—who oversees the airport's service expansion—said the new flight will meet growing travel demand.

Gulfport Police charged a 24-year-old man—Tyran Gable—with first-degree murder and aggravated assault after he shot church deacon Eddie Shed amid a child custody dispute during an Easter egg hunt at a sports complex off Prudie Circle on Saturday, where one victim died at the scene and another was airlifted for treatment.

Maxim van Norden, a Southern Miss professor who teaches about water mapping, was inducted into the Hydrographer Hall of Fame at the U.S. Hydro Conference in Wilmington (N.C.) by the Board Trustees of the Hydrographic Society of America.

He spent 53 years studying and teaching water science, building programs that guide students in learning about water depths and tides.

Mississippi State and Southern Miss won road series while Ole Miss lost a close game at home to Tennessee after nearly reaching its fourth straight SEC series win.

Mississippi State will host Southern and face the Florida Gators in upcoming games—Ole Miss and Southern Miss also prepare for new matchups next week.
