On the morning of January 17, 2023, 63-year-old Martyn Hands was found in his vehicle in the parking lot of the 61Ninety West Apartments on Girby Road in Mobile, Alabama, suffering multiple gunshot wounds. He was transported to a hospital with life-threatening injuries and later died. Reports say the confrontation occurred in the apartment complex parking lot and involved 19-year-old Xavier Dixon, who surrendered to police and was taken into custody and charged with murder, shooting into an occupied vehicle, and shooting into an occupied dwelling.

Originally from Shirebrook, England, Hands moved to the United States in 1975, served three years in the Army, and worked in aviation with ST Engineering. He was the husband of 26 years to Kelly and father to three children, Paula Monaghan, Garrit Burns, and Devon Hands. Family remembered him as positive and selfless; he enjoyed swimming with his grandson Ethan, riding his Harley-Davidson with friends, and doing daily crossword puzzles.

Who in Mobile might have seen the confrontation that morning or has information about events at the 61Ninety West Apartments on January 17?
