Cedric Lowayne Lynch Jr., 27, was found shot to death inside his vehicle on the evening of March 14, 2023, in the 2000 block of Northwest Drive in Mobile, Alabama. Officers arrived around 9:16 p.m. and pronounced Lynch dead at the scene. He was known to family and friends as Manny Man.

Court documents identify 18-year-old Lacedrick Davis as the primary suspect. Authorities say Davis allegedly hid in the laundry room at the home of Lynch’s girlfriend, then ambushed Lynch in his car while the girlfriend, who is the child’s mother, witnessed the shooting. The documents also allege Davis had threatened Lynch and Lynch’s mother months earlier.

Warrants for murder, first-degree burglary, and shooting into an occupied vehicle were issued, and Davis was later captured in Texas. He was extradited to Mobile on June 20, 2023, booked into the Mobile County Metro Jail, and held without bond after the district attorney’s office obtained a motion under Aniah’s Law. The family has expressed relief at the arrest and is preparing for legal proceedings.

If anyone knew Cedric Lynch or witnessed events around Northwest Drive on March 14, 2023, please come forward with information.
