On November 9, 2025, two people were killed in an apartment at the Fort Payne Housing Authority complex. First responders were called just before 6:00 p.m. and found 27-year-old Alisha Nichole Keller and 24-year-old Logan Cordale Brown with gunshot wounds in the kitchen; both were pronounced dead at the scene.

Authorities identified 27-year-old Jacob Eugene Mitchum of Oxford as the primary suspect. He was located after information indicated he was returning to Oxford, taken into custody without incident by a multiagency response and transported to Fort Payne. Mitchum is charged with capital murder for the deaths of two or more persons and is being held without bond at the DeKalb County Detention Center.

Family members say Mitchum was Keller’s ex-boyfriend and that the couple had two children together. Keller reportedly had gone to the Oxford Police Station that day to visit the children, which she did regularly; an argument allegedly followed in which Mitchum threatened to kill Keller and Brown. Investigators say the incident originated in another county and that no children were at the apartment during the shooting.

If anyone has information about Keller, Brown, or the events leading up to November 9, please come forward.
