Marcus Gordon, a 33-year-old Black man, was shot on the night of November 10, 2019, at the Citgo station in the 800 block of Dauphin Island Parkway in Mobile. Police said officers were dispatched at about 10:19 p.m. on a report of a person shot and arrived to find him lying on the ground with a gunshot wound to the abdomen. He was given treatment at the scene and taken to the hospital, but he later died from his injuries.
His death was then investigated as a homicide, turning what began as a late-night emergency call into a murder case that moved quickly into an arrest.
By the next evening, Mobile television station NBC 15 reported that police had identified and arrested a suspect. The man named was Jeremaiah Allen, 36, who was charged with murder and transported to Metro Jail. Publicly available reporting tied Allen’s arrest directly to Gordon’s killing, and that appears to be the key arrest made in the case based on the online sources I found.
There is also an indication that the case continued in court after the arrest. A later Mobile County District Attorney’s Office Facebook post, as captured in search results, said Allen had originally been held on a $350,000 bond, that a judge reduced it to $250,000 on April 30, 2020 over the State’s objection, and that the bond was later revoked. Beyond that, I did not find reliable online reporting showing a trial, conviction, acquittal, or final court disposition connected to Gordon’s death, so the clearest documented public record from the available sources is that Marcus Gordon was killed after being shot on Dauphin Island Parkway and that Jeremaiah Allen was arrested and charged with murder in the case.
