In the early morning hours of March 11, 2021, 49-year-old Ronald Ford was found with fatal gunshot wounds at a residence in the 300 block of Olivia Drive in Montgomery, Alabama. Police ruled his death a homicide after responding to a shooting call at the scene.

Initial investigators reported the shooting may have followed an argument, though few specifics were released while detectives worked to reconstruct events. Friends and family described Ford as well liked and not known to have criminal ties; they remain bereft and seeking answers. Montgomery police reviewed surveillance footage and interviewed witnesses as they sought to identify suspects and a motive.

By March 2021 authorities announced a suspect had been identified, but no further information about an arrest, charges, or legal outcome was provided. If anyone has information about Ronald Ford, his movements that morning, or the address on Olivia Drive, contact the Montgomery Police Department.
