Antonio Terrell Morgan, 21, was shot and killed outside an apartment building on Cobb Street in Uniontown, Alabama, on Saturday, June 14, 2025. Investigators from the Perry County Sheriff’s Office found Morgan in the front yard of Apartment Building 26. A resident, Jamarus Allen, tried to drive Morgan to Whitfield Regional Hospital because an ambulance was estimated to be 30 to 40 minutes away, but Allen’s vehicle was involved in a crash en route.

Authorities identified 23-year-old Javontae Tykeem Smith of Greensboro as a suspect and took him into custody for questioning. By June 18, 2025, Smith was arrested and booked into the Perry County Jail on one count of intentional murder and one count of reckless endangerment. The criminal complaint alleges Smith fired multiple shots that struck Morgan in the chest, and the reckless endangerment charge reflects that other people, including a six-month-old baby, were nearby.

Family and friends held a public viewing on June 27, 2025, and a funeral service on June 28 at First Missionary Baptist Church in Uniontown; Morgan was laid to rest at Hunter’s Chapel Missionary Baptist Church in Faunsdale. Does anyone in the community have information about what led up to the shooting or who witnessed it?
