On the afternoon of December 24, 2024, two young women were killed in their home on Lee Road 2113 in Beulah, Alabama. Eighteen-year-old Madison Maddie Daly and her 19-year-old stepsister Kayden Lynch were found with fatal gunshot wounds after officers responded around 3:48 p.m. to reports of shots fired. Two 9-year-old twin girls had been at the residence earlier that day but left before the shooting.

Eighteen-year-old Jalen Dashawn Holmes was at the scene and taken into custody. Investigators say Holmes had assaulted his mother at a neighboring residence, taken a handgun from her home, then went next door and opened fire. Friends reported Kayden Lynch had been in a relationship with Holmes. Madison Daly was the mother of a toddler; the community organized a GoFundMe to help with funeral expenses.

Holmes has been charged with capital murder in the deaths of Daly and Lynch and also faces domestic violence and attempted murder charges related to the assault on his mother. Does anyone have information about the women, the earlier arrivals that day, or what led up to the shootings?
