Father kills 3-year-old after fight with mother; then shoots himself in the head

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.
The loss of a child he loved so much apparently sent McClinton Sr. into a tailspin. A series of posts to his Instagram and Facebook pages talked about people needing to change and showed other signs of a person looking for help.
“He was crying out,” said his brother Thalmus Williams on Thursday, less than 24 hours after the crime rocked both the family and the Kenner neighborhood. “The things he went through as far as losing his son and trying to hold it together, it was too much to bear.”
Dr. Reggie Parquet is a clinical social worker specializing in community violence. He never assessed or treated Melvin McClinton, but says in some cases, trauma from losing a loved one can cause people to dissociate from reality and act out of character.
“Sometimes, these individuals will actually detach themselves from reality,” Dr. Parquet said. “They aren't able to recognize real situations in front of them.”
Kenner Police Chief Keith Conley said McClinton Sr. apparently argued with his young son’s mother over discipline he had given to the child Wednesday evening. His brother said he was there during the argument.
“I left out the house,” Williams said. “I didn’t want to be in it and when I seen my sister-in-law run out the house, I heard the pop… I know I lost something.”
Williams said the child who was lost, Carmelo, also known as “Melo,” was loved by everyone and had a particular affinity for puppies that his uncle’s dog just had.
“He ain’t deserve what happened. My brother was just going through a lot.”
Chief Conley said the neighborhood will never forget what happened.

He had two sons. One of his sons was 18 and was murdered. He was grieving and that took a toll on him. His youngest was the 3 year old, whom he murdered and then tried to kill himself afterwards but survived.

[@U.B.T.]

I feel so saddened by him loosing his young adult son, and now all his seeds are lost. He obviously needed help that wasn't available.

[@eddyvideostar]

To U.B.T., People mention the word "help." Some are crying out for the physical and mental source of treatment and encouragement that is often DENIED THEM. It's not cheap -- and hospitals want you to have certain things to cover *their* own arse.

[@U.B.T.]

@eddyvideostar Right! Insurance coverage is one of their first questions.

Sick and going through something means seek help. Prayers for the mother of the 3 year old and the family as a whole. He ( the dad) has also passed ( just saw update).

[@thesun-N-moon8885]

I know the feeling is different but I lost both my parents in less than a year! To say we were a close knit family is an understatement! Their deaths left me almost unable to function. I lost 85 pounds in a few months my mindset was all over the place. Just trying to work was a struggle. I had some deep deep dark depression with darker thoughts but not once did I think of harming others. I do know unexpected deaths are gut wrenching and so difficult to accept or understand. I feel for this whole family…..

[@ronmann2755]

It is so easy for those to say what they wouldn't do. But before you point fingers your day may be coming. And you just may want others to see things differently. Tragic situation.

I am tired of people keep saying mental illness all the dsm time how could he live his kid and shoot him come on he could have walk away

[@RA-hn6sk]

Demons are real, but yes mental health issues are real too. Not making excuses for this dude, but as someone who has battled clinical depression, it's is possible to disassociate from reality and do things that are irrational. It's just sad that it cost 2 people their lives.

So now this means him losing one son to gun violence...leads up to him taking another son's life...trying to take his own. Only to survive to face the fact that both are gone..one by his own hands.😮wow. Tragic all around!! Very Sad.

[@candyb4595]

Sounds like he was trying to get back at the child’s mother cause how do you kill your own flesh while saying you’re grieving over your child that was murdered? Now both your seeds are gone. One because of you and another over a senseless act of violence. Makes no sense. Hopefully the mother will heal mentally and move on.
