Christopher George Knight was found dead on July 2, 2023, in the front yard of his home on Post Oak Road in Slocomb, Alabama. He was 26 and had been shot multiple times in the chest. Friends and family remembered Knight as a kind, protective young man and noted he worked at an auto body shop and had played high school football in Ashford.

Authorities arrested Knight’s 26-year-old roommate, Jeffrey Dylan Carberry, in the days after the shooting. Carberry was booked by the Samson Police Department and transferred to the Geneva County Jail, where he was charged with Knight’s murder and held without bond. Carberry’s attorney asserted self-defense, saying Knight entered Carberry’s room with a bat and was shot with a .22 caliber handgun. Prosecutors say Carberry did not immediately contact police and instead took Knight’s vehicle, credit cards, and the firearm and drove to the beach.

Carberry was on probation at the time for prior offenses including elder abuse and neglect, and his record included charges of domestic violence, harassment, and resisting arrest. What can anyone who knew Christopher or saw him in Slocomb on or around July 2, 2023, add to the timeline or circumstances of that night?
