On the evening of Wednesday, January 4, 2023, a verbal argument on a property in Saucier, Mississippi escalated into gunfire that killed 43-year-old Shawn McCord. Both men involved were present on the property but did not live at the same address.

Harrison County Sheriff’s Office investigators found McCord with a fatal gunshot wound. A fellow Saucier resident was identified, taken into custody, and booked into the Harrison County Adult Detention Center. That individual was charged with second-degree murder; a justice court judge set bond and the case was bound over to a grand jury.

What details about the encounter or those present might help explain how an argument turned deadly?
