On Thanksgiving evening, November 24, 2022, Theodore Alexander Hill, 23, was killed during a shooting at a holiday gathering in the 2400 block of 5th Street Northwest in Center Point, Alabama. A vehicle drove past the home and shots were fired toward the residence. Hill and another man, Marvin Arnold, went outside and returned fire at the passing vehicle.

Hill was struck by a bullet during that exchange and was found unresponsive by Jefferson County Sheriff’s deputies at about 6:45 p.m.; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators later determined the fatal shot came from Arnold. Arnold was arrested and, on December 16, 2022, was charged with reckless manslaughter and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Two families were described as deeply affected by the night’s events.

If anyone has information about what happened that evening or knew Theodore, please share what you remember.
