Deonta McGee was 20 when he was fatally shot in Jackson, Mississippi, on the evening of Friday, May 11, 2018. The shooting was investigated by the Jackson Police Department, which identified a person of interest in the case.

Law enforcement actively searched for that individual, and shortly after the identification the person sought in connection with McGee’s death surrendered to authorities. The surrender moved the case from an active search to the next stages of the criminal justice process as investigators worked to establish the full details of what happened that night.
