A birthday celebration in Macon County, Alabama, on July 24, 2021, ended in a deadly shooting that claimed the lives of 50-year-old Paula Denise Pam Dumas and 40-year-old Clifford Lewis Henderson. What began as a family gathering in Brownsville reportedly escalated into a violent confrontation that left both victims dead.

Investigators quickly identified a primary suspect who was a close family member of one of the victims. The suspect, Tomarcus Robinson, is the son of Paula Dumas. Robinson was arrested and charged with capital murder in connection with Dumas’s death and with murder in the death of Clifford Henderson; he was held without bond pending further proceedings.

Key questions remain about what triggered the confrontation and the sequence of events during the shooting. If anyone attended that gathering or has information about what happened that night, please share what is known with investigators.
