Mekhi Kareem Douglas, 21, was fatally shot on January 9, 2021, near the intersection of Sparkman Drive and Mountain Park Circle in Huntsville, Alabama. Officers found him lying in the roadway and HEMSI paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene.

Huntsville Police Major Crime Unit investigators concluded the shooting arose from a drug transaction that turned violent. Within weeks, detectives identified and arrested two suspects: 18-year-old Terrell Otey and 19-year-old Sorrel Gill. Both were charged with capital murder and booked into the Madison County Jail without bond as prosecution began.

Are there details about the transaction or witnesses who were present that anyone can share?
