On the evening of June 20, 2026, 18-year-old Sa’Vion Gilchrist was found fatally shot at Woodmere Raceway off Interstate 85 in Montgomery, Alabama. Police say he was located after an initial call about a shooting near Eastern Boulevard around 6:30 p.m.; Gilchrist was pronounced dead at the scene at about 7:00 p.m.

Investigators linked Gilchrist’s death to a wider series of shootings that night. A second young man, 20-year-old Demarion Calhoun, was also found fatally shot near Carmichael Road and Woodmere Raceway. Two other people were wounded in the incidents: a man in critical condition and a woman with non-life-threatening injuries.

The Montgomery Police Department opened a full investigation but has not released information about a motive or any suspects, and no arrests have been announced. Funeral services for Sa’Vion Gilchrist were scheduled for early July. If anyone has information about the shootings or the victims’ whereabouts that evening, please come forward.
