In the early morning of May 11, 2025, police in Mobile, Alabama, responded to a distress call at a home on Driftwood Drive East and found 55-year-old Henry Maddox fatally shot. Officers encountered an armed suspect barricaded inside the same residence, prompting a SWAT response and more than two hours of negotiation and tactical operations. The suspect was taken into custody without further violence.

The man arrested was identified as 25-year-old Jordan Fantroy-Adams, described as the victim’s stepson. Investigators labelled the shooting a domestic-related incident. After his arrest he was booked into the Metro Jail on charges including murder, attempted murder, first-degree burglary, second-degree kidnapping, robbery, and discharging a firearm into an occupied building; a bond hearing was scheduled for the following Monday.

Henry Maddox was remembered by family and friends as warm and kind. Funeral services were held at Word of Life Community Church in Chickasaw and he was buried at the Alabama State Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Spanish Fort. Does anyone in Mobile have information about what happened that morning or knew Henry and his family?
