A domestic dispute in Mobile, Alabama ended in multiple deaths on the evening of June 8, 2025. Police were called to a home on Ross Street at about 5:39 p.m. and found 52-year-old Traci Lavern McDuffie and one of her sons dead inside the residence.

Authorities say Traci’s 25-year-old son, Brandon McDuffie, fatally shot her; reports indicate she may have been shot multiple times. Traci’s 29-year-old son, Brent McDuffie, is reported to have come upon the scene, and Brent then shot and killed Brandon after Brandon allegedly aimed a weapon at him. Brent remained at the scene and has been cooperating with investigators. The death of Brandon means no charges will be brought against him for Traci’s killing; as of mid-June 2025 it was unclear whether Brent would face any charges.

Traci is remembered by family and community members as exceptionally kind, a hard worker, and someone who loved live music. If anyone knew Traci or has information about what happened on Ross Street that evening, please come forward.
