Darryan Motley was 23 and a resident of Montgomery, Alabama, when he was killed in a December 26, 2020, quadruple shooting. Four people were shot that evening; Motley was the only person who died. News reports from the time noted an arrest was made in connection with the shooting, but the identity of the person taken into custody and the specifics of any charges have not been publicly detailed.

A December 2023 cold-case report raised the possibility that Darryan Motley and a Darien Motley — named as a person of interest in the November 24, 2018, shooting death of Steven White Jr. in Montgomery — might be the same man, and that the person referred to was later murdered. Motley’s death is remembered in his obituary and online memorial pages.

If anyone knew Darryan or has information about the December 26, 2020, shooting, please share tips or contact Montgomery law enforcement.
