A dispute inside All Sports Bar & Grill on Pleasant Valley Road in Mobile, Alabama, spilled into the parking lot on the evening of January 28, 2024, and ended in gunfire. Responding officers arrived about 7:11 p.m. to find Anthony Lavelle Pope, 44, shot multiple times and deceased at the scene.

Known as Ant or A.P., Pope was born in Mobile on December 6, 1979. Family and friends remembered him as a devoted father and brother, a protective presence, and a passionate cook who often prepared meals for others. The bar’s owner expressed condolences and condemned the gun violence that resulted in his death.

The Mobile Police Department opened a homicide investigation. In the weeks after the shooting no arrests had been announced and no suspect had been publicly identified. Pope’s family held a candlelight vigil and urged anyone with information to come forward.

If anyone was at the bar that night or knows anything about the dispute or who might have been involved, please share what you know with investigators.
