On the evening of January 3, 2021, 19-year-old Cevon Deshun Gibbs was shot in Tarrant, Alabama, and later died at UAB Hospital shortly before 7:30 p.m. Initial reports said Gibbs was a passenger in a car that was fired upon and rolled to a stop in a residential driveway. Responding officers found Gibbs with gunshot wounds and he was transported for medical care.

Police arrested LiHerman John Hayes at the scene, charging him with capital murder after he was found hiding in a crawlspace. Subsequent witness statements and evidence shifted the narrative: investigators say sisters Angel Boyd, 22, and Princess Boyd, 18, had conspired with Gibbs to rob Hayes. Authorities allege Hayes shot Gibbs in what Hayes and some witnesses described as self-defense; Hayes was seen removing a child from the vehicle and placing the child in the roadway during the incident. Capital murder charges against Hayes were dismissed and he was released. Angel and Princess Boyd were arrested and charged with felony murder, each booked with bond set at $125,000.
