Marion Earl Awudu was 25 when he was killed in a drive-by shooting on the evening of February 12, 2017, on Hail Street in the Alabama Village area of Prichard, Mobile County, Alabama. He was taken to USA Medical Center but died later that day. His death was recorded as Prichard’s first homicide of 2017, in a neighborhood already marked by recent losses.

The Prichard Police Department opened an investigation immediately, canvassing the area and following at least two leads. Officers searched the scene for evidence for about an hour and a half, and police at the time said they were actively looking for a murder suspect. There have been no reports of arrests or the identification of anyone responsible.

If anyone knew Marion, witnessed the shooting, or has information that could help investigators, please come forward.
