In the early morning hours of January 22, 2026, the life of 33-year-old Michael Deangelo Hall of Mobile, Alabama, was cut short. His gray Nissan Altima, parked in a desolate, vacant lot off Marengo Drive in Prichard, held a grim discovery for a concerned neighbor who, at approximately 7:00 a.m., noticed bullet holes riddling the driver's side window and promptly alerted the authorities.
When Prichard Police officers arrived at the scene, they found Hall in the driver's seat, having sustained several gunshot wounds. The Mobile County Sheriff's Office has since taken the lead in the homicide investigation.
As detectives delved into the hours leading up to Hall's death, a crucial piece of evidence emerged from a surveillance video at the Pluto Mart located at 116 Dunlap Circle. The footage, captured shortly after midnight, showed Hall pulling into the parking lot and picking up an unidentified Black male. This individual, now a person of interest in the case, was seen entering the passenger side of Hall's vehicle. He was described as wearing a black hoodie, a white undershirt, black pants, and a distinctive pair of black and red Converse shoes. The two men were seen leaving the convenience store together approximately twenty minutes after the man entered the car.
The investigation into the shooting death of Michael Deangelo Hall remains active, and authorities have reached out to the public for assistance in identifying the person of interest seen in the surveillance footage. No arrests have been made in connection with the homicide, and the motive behind the fatal shooting has not been released. The Mobile County Sheriff's Office continues to piece together the events that transpired after Hall and the unknown man departed from the Pluto Mart, leading to the tragic discovery hours later in the quiet, vacant lot.
