Jaylan Irvin Lassiter, a 22-year-old African American man, was shot and killed shortly after midnight on September 8, 2018, inside the Lucky 7 Sports Bar on West Gate City Boulevard in Greensboro, North Carolina. Another person was also shot that night and taken to hospital; Jaylan succumbed to his injuries at the hospital while the other victim’s condition is not disclosed. The Greensboro Police classified the incident as a homicide and opened an investigation.

On a date two years later, Joel Adam McCarthy, a 30-year-old man from Winston-Salem, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill; he was held at the Guilford County Jail without bond. The motive for the shooting is described as unclear. Jaylan was born May 16, 1996, to Nachele Jones and Tony R. Lassiter; his family held a public viewing and memorial service. The Murray Law Firm questioned whether the bar’s security could have prevented the tragedy and suggested potential legal avenues if inadequate security is proven.

Did anyone who was at Lucky 7 Sports Bar that night or who knew Jaylan come forward with information that could shed light on what happened?
