In the early morning hours of June 7, 2021, 20-year-old Doreon Howard and 21-year-old Joshua Womble were found dead in the roadway at the intersection of Betbeze and Mobile Streets in Mobile, Alabama. Both men, Black, sustained apparent gunshot wounds and were pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators concluded the double homicide was not random; evidence at the scene suggested Howard and Womble had been specifically targeted. The Mobile Police Department’s investigation led to the arrests of two people: 44-year-old Barbara Morrissette and 49-year-old Kenneth L. Mays. Both were charged with two counts of murder in connection with the killings. The circumstances and motive behind the targeted shooting remain under investigation.

If anyone knew Doreon Howard or has information about what happened that night, please share what you know with Mobile police.
