Carey Donte Wheat Jr., 21, also known as Wee Wee, was shot and killed while sitting in his car on the 400 block of North Lafayette Street in Mobile, Alabama, on April 25, 2018. Mobile Police found him deceased from a gunshot wound around 12 p.m.; a 19-year-old male was also shot in the same incident and taken to hospital with injuries.

Investigators tied Wheat’s killing to a string of retaliatory attacks that began the previous day with shots fired into homes on Basil Street in the Campground Community and a fatal shooting of Jaymarcus Jefferson on Driftwood Drive North. Authorities said Wheat’s murder was believed to be retaliation for Jefferson’s death and described the shootings as a form of vigilante justice stemming from a dispute over a $5 dice game.

On May 22, 2018, Mobile Police arrested two brothers, 22-year-old Lacedrick Lindsey and 24-year-old Raheem Morrissette; both were charged with murder and first-degree assault in connection with Wheat’s death and the shooting of the other victim. The suspects lived on Driftwood Drive, where the connected homicide had occurred.

Did anyone in the Mobile area at the time witness the April 24–25 sequence of attacks or have information about the dispute that sparked them?
