Clifford Lewis Henderson was 40 when he was shot and killed at a birthday party in Brownsville, Alabama on July 24, 2021. A decorated U.S. Marine Corps Staff Sergeant, Henderson was described by family and friends as a loving, protective husband and father and the glue that brought people together. The same shooting also killed 50-year-old Paula Denise Pam Dumas, and authorities treated both deaths as homicides following a violent confrontation at the celebration.

The community continued to mourn Henderson and Dumas after the senseless violence ended the evening’s celebration.

If anyone attended that gathering or has information about the events of July 24, 2021, please come forward.
