In the quiet town of Selma, Alabama, a Mmale named Steven Kennedy, 27, found his life tragically cut short. On the evening of Thursday, September 4, 2025, police responded to a call in the 1800 block of Hinson Alley around 8:30 p.m. There, they discovered Kennedy, who had sustained multiple gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigations by the Selma Police Department suggest that Kennedy had run from the GWC Homes area across the street to St.
Ann Street in the Hinson Alley vicinity before he was killed. Authorities have been piecing together the events of that night, and it is believed the shooting may be linked to ongoing retaliatory violence between families in the area. This issue of retaliatory shootings has been an ongoing concern for law enforcement in Dallas County.
In the wake of the shooting, law enforcement has been actively seeking information from the public. CrimeStoppers has offered a $1,000 cash reward for any information that leads to an arrest in connection with Kennedy's murder. As of now, the case remains unsolved, and authorities are urging anyone who was in the area of GWC Homes and may have seen or heard anything to come forward. Kennedy's family and friends are left to mourn his sudden and violent death, with a graveside service held on September 20, 2025.
