Jessica McClain, 35, was found inside her apartment on Roosevelt Drive in Greenwood, Mississippi, with at least one gunshot wound after police responded to a shooting call on the evening of January 14, 2024. Officers discovered her at the scene and the person who lived with her, 30-year-old Lavorris Gilbert, was taken into custody shortly afterward.

Gilbert was initially charged with aggravated assault; following findings from the Mississippi Crime Lab, prosecutors upgraded the charge to murder and set bond at $1 million. In April 2024, a Leflore County Grand Jury indicted Gilbert for First Degree Murder with a firearm enhancement, and prosecutors said the Greenwood Police Department recovered the weapon.

The case prompted community discussion about domestic violence and the need for more resources for victims. If anyone knew Jessica, Lavorris Gilbert, or has information about the night of January 14, 2024, please share what you know.
