Elexis Lashelle McCool was an 18-year-old Northridge High School graduate when she was fatally shot in Tuscaloosa on the evening of June 9, 2019. Described as sweet and kind, she was driving an SUV with two teenage brothers, ages 14 and 15, when the younger boy fired a handgun out the window. A bullet struck Elexis through the driver’s seat. She pulled the vehicle over but lost consciousness and later died.

Authorities later found her in the car and arrested the two brothers. The 14-year-old was charged with murder for firing the fatal shot; the 15-year-old faced charges including theft, obstruction and abuse of a corpse. The case prompted Tuscaloosa to reinforce its juvenile curfew laws.

If anyone knew Elexis or has information about that night in June 2019, please come forward.
