On the evening of March 25, 2017, 31-year-old Derris Terrel Harris was shot and killed in Opelika, Alabama, along with 27-year-old Sedric Darrell Lewis. Harris is remembered by family and friends as sweet-hearted, devoted to his family, a Lafayette High School and Southern Union State Community College graduate, and known online as 2 reil.

Authorities arrested 26-year-old John W. Maddox Jr. and charged him with two counts of murder; at the time of that arrest police said they were seeking a second person believed to be involved, but no identity or public update about a second suspect has been released. Maddox was taken to the Lee County Jail; investigators have not publicly disclosed a motive, and the final disposition of the state murder charges is not detailed in available reports.

If anyone knew Derris, Sedric, or has information about the shooting or the second person reportedly sought by police, please come forward.
