On June 24, at a petrol station in Prichard, Alabama, Randon Lee was shot and killed. According to authorities, Lee, 18, was selling marijuana when he was slain, who revealed this during a press conference on Monday.
Police have identified numerous individuals, but no one has been taken into custody. Officials claim that one of the suspects had previously bought cocaine from Lee.
In a TikTok video, Nichols stated that she and her family discovered a lot of stuff after Lee’s passing.
Nichols said that it doesn’t cross your mind that your children would be doing anything to get into trouble when they live out on their own, pay their bills, and have an excellent job.
According to the jail’s website, Reuben Gulley, a 20-year-old of Saraland, Alabama, is now being held in custody on a murder accusation of Randon Lee.
Newsweek contacted Prichard Police for comment on the arrest, but they have not publicly acknowledged it. Fox News, however, has received confirmation from the Mobile County District Attorney’s Office.
On June 27, Prichard police held a press conference where it was reported that the investigation had shown that Lee had been selling marijuana to two suspects at the gas station before one shot him.
According to Detective Jason Hadaway, Lee was able to make it to another petrol station before succumbing to his injuries there. Although some clarification is anticipated, it’s unclear if Prichard police think Gulley or the other suspect shot Lee.
We saw on the camera that Lee, the victim, and the suspect pulled up to the gas pumps, “said Hadaway. “The suspects entered the victim’s car, and we have confirmed that one shot was fired. Armed with a weapon, the suspect exited the victim’s car, got back on his bike, and sped off.
After being shot, Lee allegedly drove to a petrol station across the street. He was beyond the ability of the responding emergency workers to save. In a news conference on June 27 broadcast live on their official Facebook page, Prichard police provided information regarding the case.
Last Thursday, Lee was shot by a suspect, according to Jason Hadaway, CID, of major crimes for the Prichard Police Department.
In a social media post, Nichols stated that the family had been informed by the authorities looking into the case that they believed Lee was a marijuana dealer. However, the detectives reportedly thought that marijuana was being dealt with. Her son was meeting there when he was either robbed or shot while being robbed.
