Cameron Ahmad Madison was 24 when he was shot and killed in broad daylight on the afternoon of Friday, July 25, 2025, in the Orange Grove neighborhood of Mobile, Alabama. Emergency crews responded to the 400 block of Earle Street at about 2:46 p.m.; Madison was found with at least one gunshot wound and was taken to a local hospital, where he died. He was remembered by family and friends as a kind, smiling young man who loved rap and basketball, and his sister said he was not known to cause trouble.

The Mobile Police Department said the investigation produced a suspect quickly. On August 2, 2025, officers arrested 26-year-old Jia Scott on a murder charge and booked him into the Mobile County Metro Jail; a bond hearing was scheduled. Friends and family released balloons in tribute, and Madison’s girlfriend, two months pregnant at the time, planned to name the child after him.

Does anyone from Orange Grove who was in the area that afternoon have information that could help clarify what happened?
