Semar McClain was 19 when he was found fatally shot in the head in Racine, Wisconsin, on the evening of July 29, 2014. His body was discovered in the backyard of a residence on the 1300 block of Blake Avenue at about 7:00 p.m.; the location was not his home and his pockets were empty. Earlier that afternoon, witnesses saw McClain with a 15-year-old named Tommy Canady and others; those witnesses reported the two had been discussing trading or selling firearms, with McClain holding a .380 caliber handgun and Canady a .38 caliber revolver.

Investigators traced a tip to Canady’s SoundCloud account, where a rap song posted two days after the killing described shooting and named McClain. A search warrant at Canady’s home recovered a .380 belonging to McClain and a .38 revolver; ballistics testing matched the bullet from McClain’s body to the .38. Canady was arrested and charged as an adult with first-degree intentional homicide and armed robbery.

Has anyone with knowledge of McClain’s movements that day or who knew him or Canady come forward with information?
