Young Mace returned to the McClain household in the early morning hours, after which McClain apparently shot him to death with a .44 magnum. Police found Mace's body in a doorway of the front porch. McClain reportedly told police he shot in self-defense.

Mace's mother, Debbie Boyle Mace, died of cancer a few months before the shooting.
