On August 11, 2016, 65-year-old Ruby Prentice and her 20-year-old grandson Justin Marquise Prentice were found shot outside a residence in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Both were taken to a local hospital but died of their injuries. The victims were African American.

Police identified Ruby’s 66-year-old husband, Victor Neal Prentice, as the suspect. After the shootings he barricaded himself in the home and a standoff with law enforcement lasted about seven hours before negotiators persuaded him to surrender. He was taken into custody and charged with capital murder. Reports noted a history of domestic incidents at the family’s residence; a specific motive was not made public.

Funeral services for Ruby and Justin were held August 20, 2016. If anyone knew Ruby or Justin, or has information about what led to the shootings, please share what you know.
