History

An excerpt of his speech can be found in the June 26, 1919 edition of the Paxton Daily Record, which is available on microfilm at the Paxton Carnegie Library. Finally, in 1991, Lampkin was convicted and sentenced to life in prison without parole, a sentence that was upheld by appellate court in 1993. "The I-57 Shootout" as it is known locally, began on a seemingly ordinary Saturday night. Just a few minutes later, five people would be dead in a wild nighttime shootout: McCarter and Vice, Caisse, and Cleveland and David Lampkin, two of four brothers who were headed from their homes in Union Pier, Michigan to Mississippi for their grandmother's funeral. The community has many homes built in the late 19th century, some of which are now part of an historic homes walking tour designed by P.R.I.D.E.
