Demetrius Jones, 53, was shot and killed just after 6 p.m. on March 3, 2025, in the doorway of his apartment at the Belmont Hill Apartments on Martin Road in Huntsville, Alabama. Investigators described the shooting as the culmination of an ongoing dispute spanning several months with a fellow resident of the complex.

Huntsville Police identified 22-year-old Byron Alexander Peterson as a suspect shortly after the shooting. Peterson, who also lived in the same apartment complex, was found in a nearby unit, taken into custody, and arrested on a murder charge. Handguns were recovered from both Jones’s and Peterson’s apartments.

On April 29, 2025, a Madison County judge dismissed the murder charge against Peterson for lack of probable cause. The investigation into Jones’s death remained open, with police seeking additional witnesses or security camera footage that might clarify what happened that evening.

Did anyone in the Belmont Hill Apartments area see or have camera footage from the night of March 3 that could help investigators?
