Brittney Alise Henderson, 39, was shot and killed on June 17, 2025, on her back porch in the 400 block of East Spring Street in Dothan, Alabama. According to police, she was sitting there shortly after 1 p.m. when a 22-year-old neighbor, Vincent Phillips, approached, allegedly produced a firearm and fired a single shot. One of Henderson’s daughters was present during the incident; officers found Henderson deceased when they arrived.

Phillips fled initially but was located and taken into custody soon after. He has been charged with Capital Murder and is being held without bond. Reports say Henderson and Phillips were neighbors who did not know each other well, and investigators are still trying to determine a motive. A GoFundMe was created to assist her three children and cover funeral costs.

If anyone knew Brittney Henderson, her family, or has information about what happened that afternoon, please come forward to help the ongoing investigation.
