Christopher Dajuan Eddins, 25, was killed in a mass shooting at a Citgo gas station on 4th Avenue North in Bessemer, Alabama, on August 30, 2024. Eddins and two other men, Ronald Demetrius Dixon Jr., 20, and Wesley Fowler Jr., 41, ran into the station’s convenience store seeking safety, but the suspects followed and continued shooting inside. All three victims died of their wounds before reaching a hospital; surveillance footage captured much of the incident and investigators believe at least one of the victims had been specifically targeted.

Law enforcement arrested 20-year-old Raukeem Cunningham and charged him with capital murder in connection with the triple homicide. Additional arrests were announced: 22-year-old Jeffery Dwaine Moody Jr. was charged with attempted murder, and 25-year-old Willie Stokes III was charged with first-degree hindering prosecution. The community later held a candlelight vigil for Eddins, Dixon, and Fowler; that event was struck by a drive-by shooting that injured four people, an act officials said they believed was linked to the earlier killings.

If anyone witnessed the shooting at the Citgo station or has information about who was involved, please share what is known with investigators.
