Jatwan Oshay Holman, 32-year-old male, was killed in the early hours of April 27, 2019, in the front yard of a home on County Road 807 just outside Maplesville, Alabama. Deputies with the Chilton County Sheriff’s Office and officers from the Maplesville Police Department were sent there after reports of gunfire shortly after 1:00 a.m. When they arrived, they found him suffering from a single gunshot wound to the chest. Law enforcement and EMS tried to help him, but he was pronounced dead at the scene, leaving the case to unfold in the dark hush that follows a sudden roadside killing.
As investigators reconstructed what happened, the picture that emerged was not of a random ambush but of a confrontation that had turned deadly. Authorities said the shooting grew out of an argument and physical altercation in the yard before the gun was fired. The setting was intimate and chaotic, the kind of scene where tempers rise fast and the consequences become permanent in a matter of seconds. Public reporting from the time does not describe a long chase or a broader manhunt tied to multiple shooters; instead, it points to a dispute that escalated in front of the residence and ended with Holman dead where he fell.
In the immediate aftermath, investigators said they wanted to question Leterrius Antoine Liggett of Montgomery, identifying him publicly as a person of interest and later as a suspect in connection with the killing. According to the reporting, Liggett had already left before law enforcement reached the scene. That detail gave the case an unfinished, unsettled quality from the start: officers had a name they wanted to pursue, but not the person in hand, and the public was left with a victim identified, a violent encounter described, and a suspect still out of reach in the first wave of coverage.
As for arrests and charges, the online sources I found do not show a public report of an arrest, murder charge, trial, or conviction tied to Holman’s death. A later homicide roundup that cites the case states that Liggett had been identified as a suspect but had not been arrested or charged. There is a 2023 Chilton County booking entry for Leterrius Antoine Liggett, but that booking lists a sentence-to-serve matter and does not connect the arrest to Holman’s killing. Based on the online record available, the case appears to have remained publicly unresolved, with a named suspect but no clearly documented prosecution in the sources reviewed.
