Donyell Lemont Powell, a 46-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on February 16, 2021, in Tarboro, North Carolina. He was found dead in his vehicle in the Pine Valley Mobile Home Park after the Edgecombe County Sheriff’s Office responded to a shots fired call. Witnesses said three people ran from the scene; deputies arrested two suspects at the scene carrying firearms and located a third suspect in a nearby residence.

The investigation resulted in Kendrick Donte McKinney being charged with first-degree murder, and two juveniles were processed in juvenile court for accessory after the fact. The case remained active as authorities collected evidence and information. The killing drew attention to gun violence and its effects on Powell’s family and the community.

Does anyone have information about Powell’s final hours or the Pine Valley Mobile Home Park on February 16, 2021?
