On June 30, 2023, a shooting in Jeffersonville, Indiana, left 26-year-old Savon M. Baynes critically injured; he was transported to a nearby hospital but died of his wounds. Local reports say a suspect was taken into custody at the scene shortly after the incident, though public updates have not supplied the suspect’s identity or detailed charge information. Detectives continued investigating the circumstances of the fatal altercation.

Known by the nickname Stain, Baynes was a son and the father of four children — sons Kamden and Zayde, and daughters Alayah and Sevyn. Born January 1, 1997, he was remembered in his obituary for his infectious smile and his passions for music and fashion. His parents, Sherri and Jovan, and extended family gathered to honor his memory following the loss, which came not long after the family had already endured the earlier death of his brother, Javon Baynes Jr.

If anyone in Jeffersonville that night has information about the shooting or the person detained, please come forward and share what was seen or heard.
