On the evening of November 30, 2015, Stephen Ryan King, 31, and his stepfather John William Lowe Jr. were shot and killed outside their home on Oakdale Road in Alpine, Alabama. The two men were reportedly standing in their yard around 8:00 p.m. when an unknown person approached and asked for directions; witnesses say the conversation was followed by gunfire. King was pronounced dead at the scene; Lowe was taken to a nearby medical center and later died of his wounds. The assailant fled on foot.

An intensive investigation followed, but no arrests were made and the case went cold. In early 2023 a new witness described seeing a light-skinned Black male near the scene before the shootings, prompting renewed appeals and a reward for information that leads to an arrest and conviction. The murders remain unsolved.

Does anyone have information about who might have been in the Oakdale Road area that evening or recognize the description provided in 2023?
