Jayden Tubbs, 21, was shot and killed in Marion, Alabama, on the evening of Saturday, September 14, 2025. He was reportedly not involved in the initial dispute and had stepped in to try to de-escalate when gunfire erupted; he was struck by multiple bullets and died at the scene. His death was the city’s first homicide and the second in Perry County for 2025.

The shooting occurred just hours before Tubbs was due to begin his first trucking delivery for his father’s company, a job he was looking forward to. Described by acquaintances as kind, respectful, and positive, Tubbs’ death prompted public statements from District Attorney Robert Turner, who called for renewed community vigilance and said a suspect voluntarily surrendered and was being questioned, with murder charges expected. No further identity or charge details have been released.

If anyone knew Jayden, was present that night, or has information about the shooting, please come forward to authorities.
