On July 9, 2025, 41-year-old Demetrius McClain was fatally shot in Greenwood, Mississippi. The shooting also killed 48-year-old Lasine McKinnon. Both men were sitting together in a car in the 300 block of West Monroe when the gunfire occurred; the Leflore County coroner confirmed both deaths were from gunshot wounds.

McKinnon was remembered by family and friends with a funeral planned for early August at the Andrew McQueen Jr. Civic Center; he had been known for his work at a local farmer’s market.
