Jaylyn McMurrian was a 25-year-old Black man from El Dorado, Arkansas, known to friends and family as MAC or J Boogie. Rooted in his church and community, he grew up at Zion Watch Baptist Church and played varsity basketball at El Dorado High School. After graduating in 2014 he became a devoted father and worked in industrial, retail, and food-service jobs before earning a commercial driver’s license and driving trucks like his father and grandfather.

On July 4, 2022, gunfire on the 1100 block of East Hillsboro Street in El Dorado ended Jaylyn’s life. Local reports and national gun-violence databases list his death as a death by force and include him among the city’s homicide victims, but publicly accessible records available through October 2025 do not describe the full circumstances of the shooting or name any suspects or arrests. His obituary and memorial pages stress the life he lived and the absence felt by his children and community.

If anyone knew Jaylyn, witnessed the shooting, or has information about what happened on East Hillsboro Street that night, please share what is known.
