On the morning of Sunday, November 23, 2025, 32-year-old Marcel Miller, a Black man from Mobile, Alabama, was found dead of an apparent gunshot wound in a vacant lot in the 1800 block of Mott Drive South. A 911 caller reported a person lying near the street at about 7:38 a.m.; Mobile officers and Fire-Rescue located Miller nearby and determined he was deceased from a single gunshot injury. The scene in the quiet residential area was immediately treated as a homicide and investigators worked around the parcel.

An obituary lists Marcel Vernon Miller as a native and lifelong resident of Mobile and the second child of Marsellette Riggins and Eddie Miller. Funeral arrangements were made through B.E. Brown & Co. Mortuary, with services and a graveside in nearby Eight Mile. Online memorials and local coverage describe the family’s grief and frame the killing as another instance of gun violence in Mobile.

As of late November 2025 the investigation remains active and unresolved; police have not publicly identified any suspects and are asking anyone with information to contact the Mobile Police Department or submit anonymous tips. If anyone knew Marcel or saw activity near Mott Drive South that morning, please share what might help investigators.
