On the evening of Sunday, May 26, 2024, officers responding to a call about an abandoned house on the 1800 block of Duncan Street in Mobile, Alabama, found the body of a 21-year-old man later identified as Jermont Lamar. He was discovered without any identification. An autopsy determined the cause of death to be a fatal gunshot wound, and the case was ruled a homicide.

The Mobile Police Department opened a homicide investigation and asked the public for help. The inquiry led to the arrest of 20-year-old Dennis Lamar, who was charged with felony murder. Authorities said Dennis Lamar was already out on bond for a separate offense at the time of the alleged killing; at a bond hearing the judge denied bond and the district attorney’s office moved to revoke the earlier bond.

If anyone has information about Jermont’s movements on May 26 or about the house on Duncan Street, please come forward.
