On August 18, 2016, 27-year-old Joshua Lee McDonald was fatally shot while in his car near Jamesville Road in Mount Olive, Mississippi. McDonald and a companion, Edmond Loc Clark, had been working on McDonald’s vehicle when an individual approached and shot McDonald.

The suspect, Devontae Easterling, turned himself in and was arrested at his grandmother’s home, where officers found a 9mm handgun in his back pocket. Easterling was indicted in January that followed, tried by a jury in July 2018, and convicted of first-degree murder; he received a life sentence. An appeal was later filed and the conviction and sentence were upheld.
