In the summer of 2022, a Montgomery man lost his life to gun violence. Shelby McGhee, a 40-year-old male, was shot and killed on Saturday, July 23, 2022, in Montgomery, Alabama. The incident that led to his death took place on the Mobile Highway.
Following an investigation into the deadly shooting, the Montgomery Police Department identified a suspect. Less than a week after McGhee's death, on July 28, 2022, authorities arrested Jalen Walker, a 20-year-old from the nearby city of Prattville. Walker was subsequently charged with the murder of Shelby McGhee. He was then taken to the Montgomery County Detention Facility, where he was held on a $1.5 million bond. No further information regarding the motive or the circumstances leading up to the shooting has been publicly released as the investigation continues.
