KeShaun Middlebrooks, 22, was shot and killed after stepping outside a rental home on Victory Lane in Huntsville, Alabama, in the early morning of Wednesday, March 8, 2023. A student at Alabama A&M University studying sports management, she had been visiting a friend when a commotion outside drew her out. Her mother said a tall man wearing a ski mask was involved in a fight outside; when KeShaun went to see what was happening she was struck by a life-threatening gunshot wound.

Friends carried her back into the house and called emergency services. Huntsville officers arrived about 1:00 a.m., and paramedics transported KeShaun to Huntsville Hospital, where she died later that day. The Huntsville Police Department opened a homicide investigation and described the shooting as an isolated incident. In the days after the shooting no arrests had been made and no suspects were publicly identified.

If anyone saw activity on Victory Lane that night or has information about the masked man involved in the fight, please come forward.
