On the late afternoon of Thursday, September 30, 2021, a disturbance in the 400 block of Saddle Creek Drive in Oxford, Mississippi, ended with the fatal shooting of 29-year-old Quinton Makhail McDonald. McDonald, who was from Atlanta, Georgia, was struck by a single gunshot and later died of his injuries. Officers from the Oxford Police Department responded to the reported disturbance at 5:21 p.m. and found McDonald at the scene.

Police identified and took into custody 26-year-old Paul Rice of Oxford, who was charged with first-degree murder. A second man, 40-year-old Jermaine Cox of Oxford, was arrested on charges of tampering with evidence and possession of a weapon by a convicted felon. Both were booked into the Lafayette County Detention Center; a judge set Rice’s bond at $1 million and Cox’s bond at $100,000.
