Cindy Darrington, 39, was fatally shot on the evening of December 1, 2017, at a residence on North Fairport Drive in Prichard, Alabama. Authorities determined the killing resulted from a domestic dispute. She was a mother to three teenage sons and was active in the Gulf Village community, known for her work with The Light of the Village Church and missionary efforts that helped neighbors in need.

Police quickly identified and arrested a suspect, 27-year-old Cornelius Johnson, who was booked on charges including murder, first-degree domestic violence, three counts of third-degree domestic violence for menacing, and unlawful possession of a firearm by a prohibited person. He was held in the Mobile County Metro Jail and denied bond.

Anyone who knew Cindy, her family, or who has information about the events of December 1, 2017, is urged to come forward.
