Scielar Dupree McKenzie, 19, was shot and killed on May 25, 2018, in front of his cousin’s home on Miller Street in Jackson, Alabama. Neighbors reported gunshots that some initially thought were fireworks. McKenzie, known as Skii Koon, lived in Gautier, Mississippi, worked at a Waffle House, and was a father described as friendly and outgoing who enjoyed time with his children and family.
Investigators identified multiple suspects soon after the shooting. Two men were taken into custody: Kyle Webb was charged with murder, attempted murder, and discharging a firearm into an occupied vehicle; a second person, Zavier Williams, was charged with receiving stolen property. A third man, Devarian Edwards, was identified in connection with the crime and was sought on an all-points bulletin issued in Mississippi and Alabama as authorities considered him armed and dangerous. McKenzie’s mother, Melissa Jackson, and the rest of his family were left grieving and pursuing justice.
If anyone knew Scielar McKenzie, his movements that night, or has information about Devarian Edwards’ whereabouts, please share what you know.
