Jackson police investigation into Khloe McDonel murder
The family of 15-year-old Khloe McDonel is demanding transparency following her death in Jackson, Mississippi. McDonel was reported missing on July 18, and two days later, Capitol Police discovered a teenage girl with a fatal gunshot wound to the head at Shepard’s Park.
Although the investigation was treated as a homicide, the victim remained unidentified for 14 days. McDonel’s mother, Nekomia Quinn, stated she had been searching for her daughter and had even contacted the morgue, but authorities did not notify her that the unidentified girl could be her missing child.
Capitol Police have indicated they believe McDonel was targeted for murder, though they have not released specific evidence or circumstances regarding this conclusion. The Mississippi State Crime Laboratory eventually confirmed the victim's identity through DNA testing.
