Shermain Cain, 21, was found unresponsive inside his vehicle with a fatal gunshot wound on the evening of October 12, 2025. The shooting occurred in the shared parking lot of a Dollar General and Jones Lounge in Uniontown, Alabama. Emergency services arrived between 6:30 p.m. and 7:00 p.m., but Cain could not be saved.

The Uniontown Police Department, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency and the 4th Judicial Circuit Task Force led the investigation, with assistance from the United States Marshals Service. Investigators interviewed several people and ultimately arrested two suspects, 18-year-old Jayelynn Cole and 19-year-old Martrell Carlisle. Both were taken into custody in Huntsville, held in the Madison County Jail and charged with capital murder, pending transfer to Perry County.

The case transformed quickly from a local tragedy into a multiagency homicide investigation. If anyone has information about Shermain Cain’s last known movements or the shooting that evening, please share what you know with investigators.
