Donnell Barbee Jr. was 18 when he was shot and killed on the night of June 28, 2022, in Ripley, Tennessee. He was inside a clubhouse behind his family’s home when a 19-year-old, Kylin Beard, allegedly forced entry and opened fire. Two other juveniles with Donnell were wounded; Donnell’s mother described him as a good kid and an innocent bystander with plans to play college football and a recent promotion at a local restaurant.

Investigators tied the attack to a dispute involving another young man at the scene and known gang members. Law enforcement found Beard near the scene with a gunshot wound to his leg and located an AK-47 nearby. Beard was taken to a hospital, checked himself out, and fled; the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation placed him on its Most Wanted list and he faced charges including murder, multiple counts of attempted first-degree murder, and burglary.

What information can anyone who was at the clubhouse that night or who knew Donnell or the other young people provide to help clarify what happened?
