On the morning of Sunday, May 22, 2022, 21-year-old Jacques Adarius McLeod-Roberts was standing outside a café on the 200 block of East Powell Street in downtown Dothan, Alabama, when an unknown person approached and fired a single shot. McLeod-Roberts was fatally wounded and pronounced dead at the scene; the shooting occurred on the public sidewalk and was not connected to the business itself.

The Dothan Police Department opened a homicide investigation and pursued numerous leads, but a motive has never been established. More than a year after the killing the case remained open but cold; no suspects had been named and no arrests announced.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or was near the café that morning and has information, please contact the Dothan Police Department. What did you see that day?
