Rest in peace to my friend and “brother in law” Eian he truly was a wonderful young man. I’ll forever miss the times we shared with you as part of the family. May god shine his gracious light on him in heaven.
While the McKinney community mourns Eian Barnes, the McKinney Police Department is actively seeking the public’s assistance in an unrelated hit-and-run incident that occurred earlier.

The suspect vehicle, described as a possibly 2012-2016 Honda Civic, fled the scene and is believed to have significant damage to its front and driver’s side, including a missing front driver-side fender well. McKinney PD urges anyone with information about this incident to contact them at 972-547-3480, and anonymous tips are also welcomed.
