The incident that led to his death was classified as a domestic incident, although specific details about the circumstances or any individuals involved have not been provided in the available sources. It is clear, however, that the incident resulted in fatal injuries that McKinney succumbed to while in critical care.
There is no mention in the available sources of any arrests or ongoing investigations related to McKinney's death. The case, as of the current date, does not provide information on whether any suspects have been identified or if the matter is still under investigation.
