On the night of July 30, 2016, Christopher Jamel Bailey, 26, was shot and killed outside Plum’s Lounge, a nightclub on Montgomery Highway in Dothan, Alabama. The shooting occurred around 1:30 a.m.; eyewitnesses said Bailey was ambushed, shot multiple times in the head, back, chest, arm, and leg, and that after he fell the assailant stood over him and fired several more rounds. Bailey was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police described the slaying as an execution and said the motive was not related to the club and was not a robbery. Authorities identified 29-year-old Brandon Allen Ransom as the suspect and arrested him on a murder charge. An initial trial scheduled for September 2018 was dismissed when key prosecution witnesses would not cooperate. A Houston County grand jury re-indicted Ransom in November 2018; he was re-arrested in January 2019 and by October 2019 had been released on $60,000 bond with a tentative December 2019 trial date.

Does anyone have information about Bailey that could help clarify why he was targeted?
