A May Day gathering near Bryant’s Landing in Stockton, Alabama, ended in a mass shooting on the evening of May 11, 2024. About 1,000 people were attending when an argument escalated and nearly 50 rounds were fired from multiple weapons, leaving three people dead and fifteen wounded. Witnesses described a chaotic scene as the celebration turned violent.

One of the victims was 37-year-old Chiquita Ewing of Century, Florida, a mother of four remembered for her bright smile and sweet nature. Law enforcement says the violence grew out of a dispute from a week earlier and that the investigation remains active.

Several arrests have been announced: Mack Arthur Adams, 25, of Bay Minette, was charged with two counts of murder in the deaths of Chiquita Ewing and 18-year-old Michael Anderson Jr.; Robert German Brown Jr., 24, of Mobile, was also charged with two counts of murder; and 19-year-old Tyquan Tiques French was charged in the killing of 24-year-old Christian Bradley. Court hearings are underway.

If anyone attended the event or has information about the shooting, please come forward to assist the ongoing investigation.
