Derrick Lee McGlory, 27, was shot and killed inside Borrel’s Lounge on Preston Street in Marksville in the early morning hours of Sunday, October 14, 2018. Officers who responded found two gunshot victims; Derrick and 20-year-old Taji Simon Jr. were both pronounced dead at the scene by Acadian Ambulance personnel.

Known to friends and family as D‑Lee, McGlory was described as an outgoing artist who enjoyed making music and writing. He was a father to four children — Derrick Lee McGlory, Jr., D’Leah Nicole McGlory, Derrion Le’chelle Levi, and Bristol De’Brayshia Stanley — and is survived by his parents Johnny Lee Moore, Sr. and Aretha Moore, his girlfriend Heidi Nicole Dauzat, and several siblings. His funeral was held October 20, 2018, at First Congregational Baptist Church and he was buried at Cedar Grove Cemetery.

Investigators identified 27-year-old Jimmie McGlory as a suspect; he was arrested and booked into the Avoyelles Parish Detention Center on two counts of first-degree murder. At the time of the arrest, no motive or the nature of any relationship between Derrick and the suspect had been disclosed and the investigation remained ongoing.
