In the winter of 2020, the community of Midfield, Alabama, was unsettled by a violent act that claimed the lives of two young people. On the evening of December 3rd, 20-year-old Makiel Daveon Norwood, a male, and 19-year-old Ti'Teauna Antunya Riggs were found shot to death in what authorities have described as a double homicide.
The initial investigation led police to two separate but related scenes. Riggs was discovered unresponsive inside a Dodge Charger.
Not far from this location, Norwood's body was found in a wooded area. Law enforcement officials at the time believed the two killings were connected and began the process of piecing together the events of that tragic night.
In the immediate aftermath of the discovery, Midfield Police Chief Jesse Bell confirmed that detectives were interviewing the driver of the car in which Riggs was a passenger. It was believed that the driver had fled the scene out of fear for his own safety. Despite this initial lead, authorities did not announce any immediate arrests in the case.
As of early 2026, publicly available information and online sources have not reported any arrests or the identification of any suspects in connection with the deaths of Makiel Daveon Norwood and Ti'Teauna Antunya Riggs. The case remains a painful memory for the families and a somber chapter in the community's history, with the circumstances surrounding their untimely deaths still largely undisclosed to the public.
