Stephen Hamby, 29, was fatally shot in Montgomery, Alabama on December 2, 2018. The shooting was part of a double attack that also wounded 54-year-old Geraldine Talley; both Hamby and Talley were homeless at the time. Talley initially survived the shooting but later died of natural causes.

The case chilled into the Montgomery County District Attorney’s cold files for over a year, but investigators secured an indictment in June 2020 charging Ibraheem Yazeed with Hamby’s murder and with the attempted murder of Talley. Yazeed was already in custody on other serious charges, including a capital murder charge in the death of 19-year-old Aniah Blanchard and separate February 2019 charges of attempted murder, kidnapping, and robbery.

Anyone with information about Hamby, Talley, or the December 2, 2018 shooting is asked to come forward.
