On November 22, 2024, Maurice Walker, 44 and from North Carolina, was found in the 900 block of West South Boulevard in Montgomery with a fatal gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene. Police responded about 4:18 p.m., and the investigation quickly expanded when a second shooting victim was reported shortly afterward on the 100 block of Beckview Drive. That second victim suffered a non-life-threatening gunshot wound; investigators say both victims had been shot in the same location, linking the two incidents.

Authorities temporarily closed eastbound and westbound lanes of Interstate 65 and Davenport Drive while processing the scenes. The motive and the events leading up to the shootings have not been released, and no arrests or suspects have been publicly identified. The Montgomery Police Department is treating Walker’s death as a homicide and is also investigating an associated assault.

Anyone with information about these shootings is asked to contact investigators. What did readers in the area see or hear that afternoon?
