On the evening of October 18, 2025, 26-year-old Cedric Jacquese Carter was found on Graham Street in Montevallo, Alabama, with a fatal gunshot wound to the head. Montevallo police responded to a shooting call at about 9:30 p.m. and pronounced Carter dead at the scene, leaving his family and the town reeling from a sudden, violent loss.

Investigators quickly focused on a single individual. The U.S. Marshals were asked to assist in locating the person of interest, and on October 21, 2025, Devin Johnson of nearby Calera was arrested without incident. Johnson was charged with murder and with being a certain person forbidden to possess a firearm.

Few additional case details have been released publicly. Does anyone in the Montevallo or Calera area have information about Carter’s last known movements or the shooting on Graham Street?
