Larry Cook, 68, a Black man, was shot to death late on the night of April 11, 2020, on Stovall Street in Prichard, in the Mobile area. He was found suffering from multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead; the severity of the attack left little time for help to arrive. Investigators initially described the motive as unclear and said the gunfire was not linked to crowds gathered along nearby St. Stephens Road that night.

The Mobile County Sheriff’s Office later joined Prichard police in the investigation. On April 15, 2020, police announced an arrest: 40-year-old Rayford Williams was taken into custody and charged with murder in connection with Cook’s death and transported to the Mobile Metro Jail. Does anyone who was in the Stovall Street area that night have information that could clarify what happened or the motive behind the shooting?
