Lance Touchstone, 42, was killed by gun violence on April 21, 2021, in Purvis, Mississippi. He was from the Lumberton area and left behind a daughter, his parents, and two sisters. Graveside services were held April 25, 2021, at Grace Covenant Cemetery in Purvis; he was a member of Grace Covenant Church.

Touchstone had faced a separate, earlier criminal case in San Diego: in August 2016 he was accused of shooting his sister’s boyfriend multiple times in Ocean Beach and was charged with attempted murder and discharging a firearm. He pleaded not guilty; the final resolution of that case is not publicly known.
