James Christopher McClernon, 41, was shot dead on July 27, 2022, in a mobile home park on Evansville’s west side. The shooting happened at his trailer on Maggie Valley Drive; investigators say a man who also lived in the park went to the door, asked for McClernon by name, and shot him twice. An autopsy found McClernon died of multiple gunshot wounds to the torso.
Witnesses at the scene identified the shooter, and law enforcement located a suspect in a vehicle near the trailer park. During questioning the suspect admitted to killing McClernon and said he believed McClernon was a sex offender and felt justified in acting. The family says McClernon’s registry status stemmed from an incident in Canada more than twenty years earlier involving an adult woman, and that he served his sentence for that matter.
Does anyone who lived in that mobile home park or the surrounding neighborhood remember seeing activity at the Maggie Valley Drive trailer around the evening of July 27, 2022?
