John L. McGee Jr. was 17 and from Sacramento, California. He died of fatal injuries sustained in an attack on April 24, 2018, and authorities classified his death as a homicide.

Sacramento law enforcement opened a major investigation that identified several suspects. Detectives conducted interviews and collected forensic evidence while working through conflicting testimony and witness reliability issues. Multiple arrests were made and the suspects were charged; court proceedings included testimony from witnesses, forensic experts and police as both sides challenged the evidence.

John’s family and friends attended the hearings and the case drew community attention because of his age and the violent nature of the crime. If anyone knew John or has information about what happened on April 24, 2018, please come forward.
