Remembering Linzell

A life held close in memory

Linzell Feagin Jr. was a 32-year-old member of the Palmetto community whose life left an imprint on those who knew him locally. Public records and reporting show Linzell lived in the Palmetto area and had ties to the community prior to his death on March 4, 2016. Court records from an earlier proceeding identify him as someone who navigated complicated challenges in his life, including encounters with the criminal-justice system that were part of his public record. Those records reflect a legal history that resulted in convictions and sentence decisions earlier in his life; they are part of the documented public record but do not define his whole personhood.

Outside of official files, the public record about Linzell’s personal interests, relationships, or day-to-day life is limited. What is clear from contemporaneous local reporting is that his death on March 4, 2016, was felt in the community; law-enforcement notices and local news coverage from that time identify him by name and urged anyone with information to come forward. A later local report noted an arrest in connection with the March 4 fatal shooting, indicating the community and investigators continued to seek resolution in the months after his death.

Because there is no published, family-authorized obituary located that matches both his full name and the exact date of death, this remembrance avoids assuming private details that were not publicly documented. What remains certain and important is that Linzell was a real person—someone with a family history, a record in the community, and a life that mattered to others. This page honors him by centering his identity rather than the manner of his passing, acknowledging the limits of available public information while recognizing the human worth of his life and the loss experienced by those who knew him.
