In the summer of 2022, a promising life was cut tragically short in Madison, Alabama. Chi Ari-Hasan McDade, a 22-year-old female, died on July 28th from a gunshot wound. The incident, which unfolded on Southwest Wall Street, was the culmination of a domestic dispute that turned deadly.
Authorities responding to a shooting call found McDade injured at the scene. She was quickly transported to Huntsville Hospital, but sadly succumbed to her injuries. Present at the location was her 19-year-old ex-boyfriend, Antonio Terrell Burks. He was taken into custody by the Limestone County Sheriff's deputies and subsequently charged with murder.
The investigation revealed a history of domestic turbulence, with McDade having attempted to end the relationship on multiple occasions. In the wake of her death, McDade's family has channeled their grief into raising awareness about domestic violence. Burks was booked into the Limestone County Jail and held without bond. The outcome of the legal proceedings against him, including details of a trial or any subsequent conviction, have not been publicly reported.
