In the predawn hours of Sunday, August 30, 2026, a deadly confrontation unfolded at a house under construction on Oneonta Cut-Off Road in Albertville, Alabama, leaving two men dead and one seriously wounded. Hunter Lawrence Moore, a 27-year-old white male, was one of the individuals who lost his life in the exchange of gunfire. The incident began around 1:15 a.m.
when the property owner, 25-year-old Starsky Levi Davis, and his father, 50-year-old Starsky Dewayne Davis, confronted Moore at the construction site. The Davis men reportedly suspected Moore of being a prowler, which led to an altercation that quickly escalated into a shootout.
When Albertville Police officers arrived at the scene, they discovered a grim tableau. Hunter Moore and Starsky Dewayne Davis were both found deceased from apparent gunshot wounds. The younger Davis, Starsky Levi, was suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. An officer on the scene provided immediate medical aid, applying a tourniquet before emergency medical services arrived. Starsky Levi Davis was subsequently airlifted to Huntsville Hospital, where he underwent surgery and was expected to survive. Moore was a construction worker, according to his obituary. Court records indicated that Moore had a prior history of arrests for burglary charges.
The Albertville Police Department's Detective Division launched an investigation into the shooting, receiving assistance from the Marshall County Sheriff's Office, the Marshall County District Attorney's Office, and the Marshall County Coroner's Office. As of early September 2026, authorities had not publicly released information regarding who fired the first shot or the specific circumstances that led to the deadly escalation. The investigation into the deaths of Hunter Moore and Starsky Dewayne Davis was reported to be ongoing. To date, no arrests have been announced, nor have any charges been filed in connection with the fatal shooting. The case remains under investigation as authorities continue to piece together the full sequence of events that transpired that morning.
