On a Saturday evening in Montgomery, Alabama, gunfire shattered the peace in the 5100 block of Carmichael Road, leaving two men dead and another wounded. The incident, which occurred on September 20, 2025, claimed the life of 44-year-old Prentice Parks. When police and paramedics arrived at the scene around 7:40 p.m., they discovered Parks and another man, 37-year-old Anthony Davis, with fatal gunshot wounds.
Both men were pronounced dead at the scene.
The shooting was part of a violent weekend in Montgomery that saw a total of five homicides in separate incidents, prompting city leaders to publicly address the string of violence. In the days following the Carmichael Road shooting, law enforcement officials stated that they had 'strong leads' in the case and believed that the individuals involved were acquainted with one another. They characterized the shooting as a 'self-contained' incident, suggesting there was no broader threat to the public.
Despite the initial assurances from the Montgomery Police Department that they were actively investigating and confident in bringing charges, no arrests have been publicly announced in connection with the deaths of Prentice Parks and Anthony Davis. The case remains an open investigation. The third man who was injured in the shooting sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to a local hospital for treatment. The identities of any potential suspects have not been released by authorities.
