In a quiet residential neighborhood in Hazel Green, Alabama, the life of 20-year-old JoMiya Ann Wilson, a female, was tragically cut short in a violent encounter. On the morning of December 2, 2024, just days after Thanksgiving, deputies from the Madison County Sheriff's Office were called to a home on Butch Circle to investigate a domestic-related shooting.
Upon their arrival, they made a grim discovery.
JoMiya was found on the front porch of the residence, having sustained multiple gunshot wounds. She was pronounced dead at the scene. The promising young woman, a 2022 graduate of Grissom High School where she was active in track and field, was known for her infectious laughter and boundless kindness. She was pursuing a degree in Business Administration at Alabama A&M University with dreams of opening her own real estate company.
In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, law enforcement officials detained a suspect and transported them to the Criminal Investigation Division for questioning. While a suspect was taken into custody, authorities confirmed that the investigation was ongoing. The Madison County Sheriff's Office extended its condolences to JoMiya's grieving family and loved ones during this difficult time.
