Latricia McDade, 31, was shot and killed in Montgomery, Alabama on the evening of September 20, 2018. Earlier that night she had been visiting her mother and sister and left to go home to prepare her children’s clothes for the next day. While waiting in her vehicle at a railroad crossing in the 200 block of Alabama River Parkway at about 8:21 p.m., she was struck by gunfire.

First responders found McDade with a life-threatening gunshot wound and she was taken to Jackson Hospital, where she died later that night. Family members believe she was an innocent bystander hit by a stray bullet during an exchange of gunfire between at least two other people across the tracks; authorities have said the shooting appears to fit that scenario.

No arrests have been announced and the case has grown cold. Central Alabama CrimeStoppers is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to identification and arrest. If anyone knew Latricia, saw activity near the railroad crossing that night, or has information that could help, please come forward.
