Carlos Jones was 39 when he was shot fatally on the evening of March 12, 2022, on the 1700 block of Upper Wetumpka Road in Montgomery, Alabama. First responders found Jones about 6:50 p.m.; he was taken to a local hospital and later pronounced dead from his injuries.

In the days after the shooting the Montgomery Police Department announced an arrest: 21-year-old Alabello Barrera was taken into custody and charged with capital murder and held without bond at the Montgomery County Detention Center. Investigators described the probe as active as they continued to piece together events leading to Jones’s death.

Later reports introduced a possible name discrepancy or a second suspect. Authorities identified 21-year-old Diego Barrera, described as a Hispanic male about 5 feet 5 inches tall and 170 pounds, as a person of interest; the United States Marshals Gulf Coast Regional Task Force is searching for him and Central Alabama CrimeStoppers offered a $2,500 cash reward for information leading to his arrest.

If anyone knew Carlos, remembers the shooting, or has information about the whereabouts of Diego or Alabello Barrera, please share what you know with investigators.
