LaMarch Russell Jr. was a 21-year-old Black man from Montgomery, Alabama, killed in a July 10, 2023 shooting on the 1200 block of Hugh Street that left two young men dead. Around 8 p.m. Montgomery police and fire medics found Russell and 25-year-old Melvin Steiner Jr. suffering from fatal gunshot wounds; both were pronounced dead at the scene. Russell, also remembered by the nickname Syrup, was born August 20, 2001, and is survived by parents, siblings, grandparents, and a young son.

On July 27, 2023, Montgomery police announced the arrest of 22-year-old Kendarious Young on a murder charge in Steiner’s killing; authorities linked Young to the same Hugh Street incident. At that time, Russell’s death was still under investigation and there was no separate public announcement of an arrest or charge specifically in his killing. If anyone knew LaMarch, his movements that evening, or has information about the shooting, please share what is known.
