On June 24, 2020, 37-year-old Darnell E. McClain of Austin, Texas, was fatally shot inside a Chevrolet Tahoe at the corner of Airport Boulevard and Gunter Street in east Austin. Life-saving measures were attempted but McClain was pronounced dead at the scene.

Witnesses said Adrian Whitley exited the vehicle with a gun and ran toward a nearby car dealership. Whitley, then 43, was found hiding behind a vehicle at that dealership holding a 9 mm Glock and was arrested shortly afterward. He was charged with first-degree felony murder and held on $600,000 bond.

McClain was a devoted father to his daughter Symonne Lynette Mendez-McClain and active in his church community; family and friends remembered him fondly. Does anyone have information about the events that night or knew McClain and can add details that might help clarify what happened?
