Carty Bartholomew, a 32-year-old Black man, was killed just after midnight on Monday, April 4, 2016, following a burst of disorderly conduct and then gunfire outside a home on the 1400 block of Navco Road in Mobile, Alabama. Officers arrived about 12:40 a.m. and found him in the driveway with an apparent gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene in front of the house where the argument and shots had drawn police.

Early in the investigation authorities released only minimal details. Police did not immediately name Bartholomew publicly, offered no stated motive or timeline of who confronted whom, and described only that shots had been fired.

The killing appears in national gun-violence listings for April 4, 2016. Investigators asked anyone who heard the argument, saw the confrontation, or otherwise has information to contact Mobile police or submit tips through local channels; this remains the key avenue for anyone with information about what happened that night.
