A dispute on the evening of February 14, 2024, in Elba, Alabama, ended with 24-year-old Ethan Christopher Hill shot multiple times and found dead near a baseball field in the Mulberry Heights community. Authorities say the confrontation may have started over a drug deal that turned violent; court testimony alleges Freddie McGee shot Hill two to three times on Jones Street.

After the shooting a manhunt sought three people believed involved. More than 16 hours later police arrested Freddie Jr. McGee, Leanne Michelle McGee, and a 17-year-old juvenile in nearby Enterprise. The two adults were charged with murder and were subject to an Aniah’s Law hearing as a judge considered whether to deny bond; a preliminary hearing was scheduled for March 13, 2024. The juvenile’s details and specific charges were not released because of their age.

If anyone in Mulberry Heights or Elba that night saw activity near the baseball field or on Jones Street, can you share what you know?
