Akeivyon Diez McMillan, a 20-year-old Black man from Jefferson, Texas, was found shot to death at Powder Mill Cemetery in Marshall on March 30, 2022. Officers discovered McMillan near the cemetery’s east gate with multiple gunshot wounds; the Marshall Police Department opened an immediate homicide investigation and began canvassing nearby homes for surveillance footage and other leads.

On April 7, 2022, a 16-year-old juvenile was arrested and charged with one count of murder; Texas law prevents release of the juvenile’s identity. Investigators continued to seek additional evidence and witnesses, and the department asked anyone with information to contact them or Crimestoppers anonymously.
