Corey Ray, 24, was shot and killed in Camden, Alabama on the evening of Friday, June 5, 2026. Officers who responded to a call at about 7 p.m. on Ann Street found Ray inside a vehicle with a gunshot wound. He was taken to a nearby hospital but died of his injuries. An obituary was later published by Christian Memorial Funeral Homes in Camden.

Investigators determined the fatal shot occurred during a tussle over a firearm. Authorities arrested 25-year-old NyQuan Higginbottom and charged him with reckless murder in connection with Ray’s death; Higginbottom was booked into the Prince Arnold Detention Center held without bond. The charge alleges the killing resulted from a conscious disregard of substantial and unjustifiable risk rather than premeditation.
