Dayeveon LaDarious Hill was 18 and a senior at Clarksdale High School when he was shot and killed on Wednesday, February 8, 2017. Known as Smooth and captain of the football team, he had just signed to play at Pearl River Community College. The shooting occurred in the 1000 block of King Street; Hill suffered gunshot wounds to the arm and chest and did not survive.

The day after the killing, police arrested and charged 18-year-old Marcus Myles with one count of murder; a judge set his bond at $1 million. A grand jury later indicted Myles in July 2017. Hill’s mother, Lekitha Hill, has pushed for stronger gun laws and founded The Daye 5 Foundation to raise awareness about gun violence and support affected families.

The case has seen protracted legal proceedings, and the trial that began years later ended in a mistrial after three days of testimony in August 2024. What information can anyone with knowledge of the case or King Street that night share?
