On the evening of April 26, 2022, 34-year-old Dejean Washington was found near the roadway at the intersection of Center Street and Wood Alley in Mobile, Alabama, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Officers arriving about 9:32 p.m. transported him to a local hospital, where he died. Police recovered nine 9mm shell casings at the scene and determined Washington had four gunshot wounds.

Investigators traced the events that day to a motel in Tillman’s Corner. Surveillance footage showed Washington getting into a van driven by 21-year-old Maranda Shardae Gamble, with 28-year-old Jermi Anrichio Adams believed to be another passenger. Detectives say their theory was that Gamble lured Washington into the vehicle to set up a robbery; testimony described an altercation in the van in which Adams allegedly brandished a firearm and Washington was shot. A BOLO for the van led to Gamble’s arrest the next morning in Georgia, and Adams was later taken into custody. Adams faces murder and first-degree robbery charges; Gamble was charged with felony murder and, after a January 2023 finding that sufficient evidence existed for grand jury consideration, a judge in May 2024 denied her request for youthful offender status so she will be tried as an adult.

Are there witnesses or local dashcam recordings from Tillman’s Corner or the Plateau community that could clarify what happened inside the van?
