Albert Badger Jr. was 21 when he was shot and killed outside John’s Pool Hall on South Hampton Avenue in Fairfax on the night of September 24, 2018. He grew up in the area, born January 3, 1997, in Allendale County and known to family and neighbors as AB. His obituary and memorials emphasize his easy sense of humor and close ties to a large family; visitation and a funeral service were held at St. Luke Missionary Baptist Church in late September.

According to investigators, a gunman approached a vehicle where Albert was sitting shortly after 11 p.m. and fired a handgun into the car. Witnesses said the shooter fled in a red Nissan Altima. Fairfax police and the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division investigated the scene, and Crime Stoppers later identified 39-year-old Rodrigues Demetress Doe as the suspect; Crime Stoppers credited a tip with leading to his arrest by mid-October.

Does anyone have memories of Albert, or information about that night outside John’s Pool Hall that could shed light on what happened?
