On February 5, 2023, a shooting in Falkville, Alabama, left four people shot and ended the life of 36-year-old Marcus Ken Reed. Reed, a General Electric lineman and father of four, was pronounced dead at the scene. His father, 62-year-old Mitchell Ray Beard, was transported to hospital but later died from his injuries; two other people were also wounded and taken to hospital.

The Morgan County Sheriff’s Office identified and arrested a 20-year-old man from Vinemont. He was charged with capital murder in connection with Reed’s death, an allegation that Reed was killed in the presence of his child under 14. Additional charges were later added, including a second count of capital murder for Beard’s death and two counts of attempted murder for the wounded victims. The suspect was held without bond at the Morgan County Jail.

Are there readers who knew Marcus or Mitchell or who have information about what happened that day?
