Cedric Hubbard, 45, was remembered by friends and family as kind-hearted, funny, and a devoted father nicknamed The Gentle Giant. A Sidney Lanier High School graduate from Montgomery, Alabama, he worked at Mobis and was described as the life of the party and a beloved brother, cousin, and friend.
On May 12, 2019, an argument on the 700 block of Capri Street between Hubbard and a man he knew, 26-year-old Kendal Johnson, escalated and Hubbard was shot. He was taken to a local hospital with a life-threatening gunshot wound and died on June 5, 2019, after fighting for more than three weeks. Montgomery police continued the investigation.
On June 11, 2019, authorities arrested Kendal Johnson and charged him with murder; he was held in the Montgomery County Detention Facility on $150,000 bond. As of January 2020 the case was proceeding through the courts.
If anyone knew Cedric, was on Capri Street that night, or has information about the shooting, please share what is known.
