On a Wednesday night in Greenwood, Mississippi, 41-year-old Demetrius McClain was fatally shot. The incident, which also resulted in the death of 48-year-old Lasine McKinnon, occurred on July 9, 2025. McClain had reportedly driven to McKinnon's home, and the two men were sitting together in a car in the 300 block of West Monroe when the shooting took place.
The Leflore County coroner confirmed that both McClain and McKinnon died from gunshot wounds.
Friends and family of McKinnon planned a funeral service for early August at the Andrew McQueen Jr. Civic Center to honor the man remembered for his work at a local farmer's market.
As of mid-October 2025, public records and reporting on the case did not contain information regarding any arrests made or suspects identified in connection with the killings of McClain and McKinnon. The investigation into the double homicide that claimed the lives of the two men appeared to be ongoing, with no official updates released concerning potential motives or who would be held responsible for the violent act.
