On the evening of July 9, 2025, in Greenwood, Mississippi, Lasine McKinnon, a 48-year-old Black/African American man, was shot and killed while sitting in a car in the 300 block of West Monroe. A second occupant, 41-year-old Demetrius McClain of Greenwood, was also shot and died at the scene. Emergency responders arrived, and the Leflore County coroner later confirmed both deaths were due to gunshot wounds.

McKinnon was remembered by friends and family for his work at a local farmer’s market and his long ties to Greenwood; his funeral services were announced in the days after the killings. No motive or suspects were publicly identified in the immediate aftermath, and by mid-October 2025 there had been no public announcement of any arrests or charges in the double homicide.

Does anyone have information about the shootings or knew Lasine McKinnon and his activities in Greenwood that could help investigators?
