On a tragic afternoon in Pell City, Alabama, the lives of 20-year-old Hope Michelle Trapp and her companion, Logan Douglas Lambert, also 20, were cut short by an act of violence. On Saturday, June 9, 2018, the two were found deceased at a walking track in Cook Springs, having both sustained multiple gunshot wounds. The St. Clair County Coroner's Office pronounced them dead at the scene at approximately 4:28 p.m.
The investigation into the double homicide quickly led authorities to a
suspect. Kevin Wayne McCrory, a 41-year-old man from Pell City, was arrested in connection with the deaths. The St. Clair County Sheriff's Office announced that McCrory had been charged with two counts of capital murder. At the time of his arrest, it was noted that McCrory had a pending felony assault charge against Logan Lambert from 2016.
Following his arrest, McCrory was held in the St. Clair County Jail without bond. Authorities indicated that the shooting occurred during an altercation at the walking track. In the immediate aftermath of the arrest in June 2018, it was reported that McCrory had a court date scheduled for later that year. However, further details regarding the progression of the case, including the trial, verdict, and any subsequent conviction or sentencing, have not been publicly reported in the available online sources.
