Official Statement from the Office of Mayor Mark Grubbs

“Our hearts are heavy today as we mourn the tragic loss of life and the injuries resulting from early this morning’s shooting. This act of violence does not define Magee, but it deeply affects all of us who call this tight-knit community home.

First and foremost, our thoughts and deepest prayers go out to the victim’s family during this unimaginable time of grief.

I want to reassure our residents that your safety remains our absolute highest priority. Our local police department, alongside state investigators, are working tirelessly to bring those responsible to justice. We will not tolerate violence in our town. I am in close contact with Chief Borges and will ensure our officers have every resource they need to find those responsible for this senseless act.

I urge anyone who may have seen anything or who possesses any information, no matter how small, to please come forward and speak with law enforcement. Let us stand together as a community to support one another, lean on our faith, and cooperate fully with the investigation as we seek justice and healing.”
