Philip Eugene McLean, 45, of Hickory, North Carolina, was shot and killed on November 19, 2015. Known as Scooter Man, he owned Import Power Store and was survived by his father Patrick Doc McLean, his newlywed wife Desiree McLean and their unborn child, a son Philip E. McLean Jr., a daughter Michala McLean, two sisters Mitzi Beaver and Patricia Tyger, a brother Tim McLean, and several nephews and nieces.

Witnesses reported McLean had a verbal confrontation with 24-year-old Lakeith Marshaun Lawrence, after which Lawrence produced a gun and shot McLean in the back of the head. Witnesses saw Lawrence flee on foot, and a video recovered from McLean’s cell phone captured the defendant and the gunshot before McLean fell. Lawrence had a prior conviction for attempted common law robbery from May 2013 in Catawba County and was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a felon.

During the ensuing prosecution the state chose not to seek capital punishment. The video from McLean’s phone was a key piece of forensic evidence. Does anyone have information about McLean’s last known movements that day or saw what happened at the scene?
