Demarco Gaines was 23 when he was found fatally shot at 210 Parcel Drive in Jackson, Mississippi, in the early morning hours of Saturday, August 14, 2021. His death was ruled a homicide and recorded as Jackson’s 91st homicide of that year.

Gaines’s killing came days after his girlfriend, 23-year-old Kennedey Wilson, was also shot and killed in a separate incident; family members confirmed the two had been dating. The Jackson Police Department opened investigations into both homicides, but the initial inquiries produced no immediate suspects or publicly stated motives. Public updates on arrests or significant developments have not been reported.

Anyone who knew Demarco, his movements that night, or has information that could help investigators is urged to come forward.
