On the evening of Thursday, July 28, 2022, 19-year-old Kelis Brenae Cook was found seated in the front passenger seat of a silver Nissan Altima in the 400 block of East Brignoli Street in Talladega, Alabama, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Emergency medical personnel pronounced her dead at the scene; investigators treated her death as a homicide. A 30-year-old man at the scene had a single gunshot wound to his hand.

The Talladega Police Department opened an intensive investigation and appealed to the public for help. Central Alabama CrimeStoppers offered a reward for information leading to the identity and arrest of whoever is responsible. A news conference was held in late August 2022 to discuss the ongoing probe.

If anyone has information about Kelis Brenae Cook, her movements that night, or the people in the silver Nissan Altima, can you please come forward?
