In the early evening of June 16, 2022, a burst of gunfire shattered the peace at the Bay Pointe Apartments on St. Stephens Road in Mobile, Alabama. When police arrived, they discovered two men who had been shot multiple times. One of the victims was 29-year-old Kendric Pritchett, a Black male from Mobile. He and the other victim, 22-year-old Joshua Stallworth, were pronounced dead at the scene.
The initial investigation suggested that the shooting was not a random act of violence.
Detectives believed that an altercation had occurred shortly before the fatal shots were fired. In the days following the double homicide, the Mobile Police Department actively investigated the case, gathering evidence and interviewing witnesses. They indicated that they had several leads and persons of interest.
Despite the initial progress and the belief that the case was solvable, the investigation has continued for years without any publicly announced arrests or suspects being named. Law enforcement officials have, at times, appealed to the public for any information that might lead to a breakthrough in the case. As time has passed, the tragic deaths of Kendric Pritchett and Joshua Stallworth have remained an unsolved chapter in the city of Mobile's history of gun violence, leaving a grieving family and community still waiting for justice.
