Two men died after a dispute in the 400 block of Irby Street in Prichard, Alabama, on the morning of October 10, 2024. At about 9:35 a.m. officers found Willie L. Scott Jr., 26, a Mobile resident, and Bobby L. Knight, 46, both deceased from gunshot wounds. Investigators say the two knew each other and that the argument between them escalated into lethal violence.

Officials have classified the incident as a double homicide and describe it as stemming from a personal conflict rather than a random act. Some accounts from the investigation suggest a more complicated sequence: one man may have been shot first and then the initial shooter was killed by a third person. No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced as the probe continues.

If anyone has information about what happened on Irby Street that morning, please share details with the Prichard Police Department or the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office.
