Martavious Thomas, a 31-year-old Black man, was killed the night of May 6, 2021, when gunfire erupted along the 4700 block of Park Towne Way in Montgomery, Alabama. Police were called at about 9:00 p.m.; first responders found him unresponsive and he was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities later identified a suspect, Xzavier Lee Johnson, and by mid-June U.S. Marshals and a fugitive task force were involved as public notices warned he was wanted in connection with the killing.

Johnson was taken into custody on June 25, 2021, by the United States Marshals Task Force and booked into the Montgomery County Detention Facility. He was charged with murder and with shooting into an occupied building; booking records listed a $150,000 bond on the murder charge and additional bonds tied to the other counts. A graveside service for Thomas was announced for May 22, 2021, at Forest Hills Cemetery in Snowdoun.

Is there anyone who remembers seeing activity on Park Towne Way that evening or has information that could help clarify what happened?
