On the evening of April 29, 2021, gunfire on the 700 block of Alabama Avenue in Dothan, Alabama, left 27-year-old Johnnie Khaseem Settle with fatal gunshot wounds. He was taken to a local hospital by a private vehicle but was pronounced dead there. The Dothan Police Department’s Violent Crimes Unit and Forensic Services Unit opened a homicide investigation and processed the scene while canvassing the neighborhood.

Multiple community members provided information, and witnesses gave a description of the shooter that helped investigators. On May 4, 2021, detectives arrested a 14-year-old juvenile in connection with Settle’s killing; the teen was charged with murder in juvenile court and placed in the Southeast Alabama Diversion Center. No further identifying details about the suspect were released because of the suspect’s age.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or has additional information about what happened that night, please share what is known with investigators.
