Keldrick Talley was 27 when he was shot and killed in the early morning hours of January 7, 2016, while driving through the Ridgecrest neighborhood in Montgomery, Alabama. He was giving a co-worker a ride home after finishing his overnight shift at a local manufacturing plant when someone fired into the vehicle; one bullet struck Talley and proved fatal. His death was Montgomery’s first homicide of 2016.

Family members believe the shooting stemmed from a robbery attempt that went wrong. They describe Talley as a hardworking father who provided for a young daughter and as a laid-back, funny man who encouraged others. The Montgomery Police Department investigated but no arrests were ever made; the case eventually went cold and was turned over to a specialized unsolved homicides unit. Crime Stoppers has offered a reward for information leading to an arrest.

If anyone knew Keldrick, saw activity in Ridgecrest on January 7, 2016, or has information that could help his family and investigators, please come forward.
