Jireh Portis was 18 when she was shot and killed on January 14, 2022, at the Azalea Court Townhomes on Bellingrath Road in Mobile, Alabama. Responders found her with a gunshot wound and she was taken to a local hospital, where she died. Her father remembered her as quirky and full of energy.

Investigators identified her 22-year-old boyfriend, Dayvon Bray, as a suspect. At the time of Portis’s death, Bray was out on a $200,000 bond for a separate murder charge from the previous August and had been released from jail with an ankle monitor about a month after that arrest. Authorities charged Bray with Portis’s murder, and Portis’s death prompted public and law enforcement frustration over the decision to grant bond in the earlier case.

If anyone knew Jireh or has information about what happened that night at Azalea Court Townhomes, please come forward.
