MaDarius Devaughn Warren was 24 when he was shot inside a residence in Brighton, Alabama, on November 5, 2021. Officers who responded to a call that night found him with gunshot wounds; he was transported to a local hospital and later pronounced dead.

The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office opened an active homicide investigation. Early reports gave few details about what happened inside the home, and authorities did not immediately release a motive or identify any persons they were seeking. By late November 2021 no arrests had been publicly announced. Warren’s family described him as a young man trying to improve his life.

Anyone who was in Brighton on November 5, 2021, or has information about events at that residence that night is asked to come forward.
