Eric Major, 32, was shot and killed on July 16, 2025, on the 2300 block of East 6th Street in Montgomery, Alabama, after a dispute over a reportedly stolen cell phone. His sister says Major had gone to retrieve the phone from the person who allegedly took it; an argument followed and ended in gunfire.

Family members describe him as smart, athletic and often at his computer, and noted his birthday was only days after the killing. They also said he had a troubled past for which he had served his time but remained a helpful person to those who knew him.
