Antonio Demetria Ausbon, 36, of Pine Hill, Alabama, was shot and killed on the evening of Thursday, November 20, 2025, while helping relatives search for two missing teenagers from his extended family. Relatives had been searching for 17-year-old Kalisha Dunson and 18-year-old Keyonte McCall earlier that week; Ausbon joined family members in speaking with another relative believed to have information, and Wilcox County Sheriff Larry Colston says the conversation escalated into a heated argument and a physical altercation during which Ausbon was shot and died at the scene.

Authorities later identified 23-year-old Kentrious Dre’Mon Grayson as the person charged with murder in Ausbon’s death; investigators noted Grayson was out on bond at the time on multiple attempted murder counts and a charge of shooting into an occupied vehicle, and the district attorney moved to have that bond revoked. Two days after Ausbon’s killing, the bodies of Dunson and McCall were found near Ralph Ervin Road, both suffering from gunshot wounds, and police said the teen deaths and Ausbon’s killing appeared related.

Ausbon’s death is being mourned by family and the Pine Hill and Thomasville communities, with online memorials and funeral services at Pleasant Green Primitive Baptist Church in Arlington in late November. Does anyone have information about the events on November 20 or about contacts between these families in the days before the shootings?
