Jatavious Damailo French was 20 when he was killed by gunfire on January 1, 2025, on Pecan Street in Bay Minette, Alabama. The shooting occurred in daylight and followed an ongoing dispute; reports describe altercations involving French and the other parties the day before and within hours of the fatal encounter. Multiple weapons were believed used in the attack, including 9mm handguns and a shotgun, and investigators recovered at least 19 shell casings at the scene. A shotgun pellet proved to be the lethal wound.

Two people were identified as suspects: 18-year-old Armani Hooks and Kendrick Johnson. Both were arrested and charged in connection with the killing; a judge set bond at $200,000 apiece and bound the case over to a grand jury. Does anyone have information about the dispute or the events on Pecan Street that day?
