Kevin DeAndre Hatter was 23 when he was shot and killed in Brighton, Alabama, on the evening of April 8, 2015. The shooting happened in the front yard of a house on the 1200 block of 47th Street during a confrontation that turned violent.

A 21-year-old suspect, Caderrien Jawaun McLemore, was arrested and charged with murder; the case was scheduled for trial in September 2018. Before trial, the Brighton Police Department reported that key evidence — the firearm believed to be used and shell casings recovered at the scene — could not be located. Because the evidence was lost, the murder charge was dismissed without prejudice. The police chief acknowledged problems with the department’s evidence tracking procedures.

What can readers who knew Kevin or who have information about the shooting or the missing evidence provide to help move this case forward?
