Ricky Pernell McMillian Jr, 39, was fatally shot during a carjacking on October 3, 2023, in the 200 block of B Street in Fayetteville, North Carolina. McMillian had recently acquired a white Dodge Challenger Hellcat with a black hood and was showing it to friends when two individuals approached; one produced a firearm and demanded his keys. After he handed them over, he was shot multiple times and later died at a local hospital. He is survived by a fiancée and a 4-year-old son.

Residents described the B Street area as suffering ongoing drug activity and violence, and McMillian’s grandmother, Annie Moore, publicly urged authorities to improve safety after his death. Surveillance footage and witness statements were used during the investigation, and the stolen Challenger was recovered with bullet damage and evidence of an attempted arson in a remote area of Hoke County.
