Fatal Mesquite shooting death of Kemarius Mack

Kemarius Mack, a 23-year-old man from Lancaster, lost his life in a shooting that broke out in a Mesquite parking lot early Monday morning.

Authorities reported that the incident took place shortly before 1 a.m. in the 2800 block of Franklin Drive, where Mack was involved in a confrontation with multiple individuals before shots were fired.

Following the gunfire, the person believed to have shot Mack contacted Mesquite police and claimed the act was done in self-defense. Investigators have not released the name of the shooter or confirmed whether they will face charges.
