Antoine Hartwell, a 42-year-old man from Montgomery, was killed in a shooting on September 1, 2022, in the 4500 block of Narrow Lane Road. According to the reporting available online, police were called to the scene at about 8:40 that morning, and when officers arrived they found Hartwell dead from gunshot wounds. The violence did not end with him.
Another male victim was also found wounded at the scene and was taken to a hospital with injuries that authorities said were believed to be non-life-threatening. What emerged from those first reports was the picture of a morning shattered by gunfire, leaving one man dead, another injured, and investigators trying to piece together what had happened on that stretch of road.
As the case unfolded that same day, Montgomery police announced an arrest. Authorities identified Adareis Robinson, 33, of Montgomery, as the suspect and charged him with capital murder in Hartwell’s death. Online reports state that Robinson was taken into custody and held in the Montgomery County Detention Facility. Databases that track gun violence incidents also list Robinson as the subject-suspect and note that he was arrested after the shooting. The capital murder charge gave the case immediate weight, signaling that investigators believed the circumstances of the killing met Alabama’s most serious homicide standard.
Beyond the arrest, the public record available through the online sources located is limited. The initial reports said the circumstances surrounding Hartwell’s death remained under investigation, but the sources reviewed do not provide a fuller public account of what led up to the shooting, what relationship, if any, existed between Hartwell and the accused, or whether the case later moved to trial or ended in a conviction. So the story that remains in the open record is stark and unfinished: Antoine Hartwell was killed in Montgomery on the morning of September 1, 2022, another person survived the same burst of violence, and police quickly arrested Adareis Robinson and charged him with capital murder, leaving the deeper facts of the case largely outside public view.
