Laterrius Bailey, 25, was a male who was gunned down in Mobile, Alabama, on the morning of March 2, 2026, in a killing that unfolded in broad daylight at the intersection of Valdez Drive and Skipper Drive. Police said officers were called there at about 11:18 a.m. and found Bailey dead in the roadway. Investigators later said he had been shot while walking, a detail that gave the case an especially stark and sudden feel, as if an ordinary stretch of road had turned deadly in an instant.
In the first hours after the shooting, authorities said at least two male subjects had been seen in the area at the time of the gunfire and then left on foot, leaving detectives to piece together what happened from the movement of people in the neighborhood and the few clues left behind.
As the investigation moved quickly, Mobile police announced that a juvenile male had been arrested the same day, signaling that detectives believed they had already identified at least one person tied to Bailey’s death. That early arrest was followed by word from police that more arrests were expected, suggesting from the start that investigators did not view the shooting as the act of a lone unknown gunman. Reports in the days that followed described a neighborhood left rattled by the killing, with residents recounting the shock of hearing a burst of gunfire in the middle of the day and then learning that a young man had died in the street.
By March 4, the case had widened further. Police said two additional suspects had been identified and arrested Wednesday night: T’Marvin Jones, 21, of Mobile, and another male juvenile. Authorities said Jones was charged with felony murder and held in Metro Jail awaiting a bond hearing, while the juvenile arrests underscored how young some of the accused were in the case. Taken together, the publicly reported arrests brought the total number of people arrested in connection with Bailey’s death to three. As of the latest online reports I found, the case had advanced to the stage of arrests and charges, but no trial or conviction in Bailey’s killing had yet been reported.
