Erika Latavia Latham, 26, was shot and killed in Uniontown, Alabama shortly after 1:00 a.m. on Sunday, March 29, 2026. Officers found Latham, a Reform resident in Pickens County, in the 200 block of Water Avenue; she was pronounced dead at the scene. The city’s first homicide of the year, the case was turned over to the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency’s State Bureau of Investigation.

A suspect was arrested the next day. On Monday, March 30, 2026, 33-year-old Uniontown resident Deandre Brandell Langhorne was taken into custody by SBI special agents and charged with manslaughter; he was booked into Perry County District Court. Authorities described Latham as a beloved member of her community and asked anyone with information to contact the Uniontown Police Department or the SBI.

Does anyone in the area have information about Latham’s activities or who might have been present in that part of Water Avenue that morning?
