Lamont Corzell McFall was 23 when he was fatally shot on the evening of February 19, 2015, while inside a vehicle parked on Jefferson Avenue just south of Hall Street SE in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The shooting was the city’s first homicide of 2015 and prompted an extensive investigation by the Grand Rapids Police Department.

Authorities identified a suspect who was already incarcerated on unrelated charges. Joshua Beckford was charged in connection with McFall’s killing; in December 2015 he was sentenced to 18 to 60 years for murder plus two years for a felony firearms conviction. McFall, born November 19, 1991, left behind a daughter and a large extended family.
