A verbal argument between two men who knew each other turned deadly on a Prichard street in October. At about 9:35 a.m. in the 400 block of Irby Street, 46-year-old Bobby L. Knight and 26-year-old Willie L. Scott Jr. were both found dead of gunshot wounds. Officers from the Prichard Police Department discovered both men and the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office joined the investigation as a joint probe into a double homicide.

Investigators say the violence unfolded in a retaliatory sequence: an initial argument allegedly led to one man shooting the other, and a third, unidentified person then shot and killed the first shooter. No identities have been released for that third individual, and authorities have not announced any arrests or additional suspect details. The investigation remains active.

If anyone saw activity in the 400 block of Irby Street that morning or has information about who the unidentified shooter might be, please share what is known with investigators.
