On August 30, 2020, 34-year-old Jimman Lee Darrente Rice, also known as "Krunk," was fatally shot at an Airbnb pool party in Indian Trail, North Carolina. The incident occurred just before 2 a.m. at a house on Idlewild Road near Hemby Bridge. Rice was one of two men who were shot during the event, which was attended by approximately 200 to 300 people.
The other victim, 21-year-old Diontre Keishawn Lipscomb, was seriously injured but survived.
The shooting stemmed from an ongoing feud between Rice and Lipscomb, which was believed to be connected to a drive-by shooting earlier in the year that injured a child, thought to be Lipscomb's brother. The Union County Sheriff's Office responded to multiple noise complaints about the party before the shooting occurred. After the shooting, several people with Rice placed him in a van and drove him to Novant Matthews, where he was pronounced dead.
Lipscomb was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a felon. Investigators found shell casings and firearms at the scene, and evidence suggested that Rice and Lipscomb exchanged gunfire. The investigation revealed that the property was rented through Airbnb for two days, and the party had been ongoing for the duration of the rental.
The tragic incident left the community in shock, with residents describing the sound of gunfire as a terrifying way to wake up. The Union County Sheriff's Office continued to investigate the circumstances surrounding the feud and the events leading up to the shooting.
