Description
Reeling from the death of his 18-year-old son just weeks earlier and apparently angered by an argument with the mother of his young child, Melvin McClinton erupted and fatally shot the 3-year-old before heading to the driveway and shooting himself Wednesday evening, according to Kenner Police and his brother, who talked to WWL Louisiana.
Melvin McClinton Sr., survived the apparent suicide attempt, but police said his condition was not immediately available Thursday. McClinton Sr., had lost his namesake, Melvin McClinton Jr., to a shooting on February 5. It was Kenner’s first homicide of 2024.
