Agila Lee Flennory, a 40-year-old Black man, was killed by gunfire at his Center Point, Alabama, home in the 900 block of 21st Avenue Northwest on July 7, 2014. Deputies were called about 6:30 a.m. after a report that someone had been shot; Flennory was dead at the scene. His death was later noted in obituary notices and local gun-violence records dated that same day.

Reports published after an arrest say the violence began when a neighbor, identified as 23-year-old Alfred Douglas Davis of Center Point, came to the back door asking to speak with Flennory. After being told Flennory was asleep, Davis allegedly insisted he be awakened. Flennory went into the backyard with his 18-year-old nephew; investigators say Davis then allegedly shot Flennory, killing him, and shot the nephew in the leg. The nephew survived and was treated at a hospital.

Authorities said Davis was taken into custody at his residence immediately after the shooting and was charged with murder and attempted murder, booked into the Jefferson County Jail with bond set at $135,000. If anyone knew Agila Flennory or has information about what happened that morning, please come forward.
