Marlon Trayvelle Pierce, 45, was killed in a February 9, 2023 shooting at a home on the 19000 block of Summer Street in Citronelle, Alabama. Police were called shortly before 4 p.m.; officers found Pierce dead at the scene and 49-year-old Clifford Kirksey of Citronelle wounded and taken to a Mobile hospital. Early reports described the two men as close friends who had known each other for years.

Citronelle Police Chief Chris McLean said the confrontation began with harsh words, became physical, and then gunfire erupted. Investigators recovered shell casings from both a 9-millimeter and a .380-caliber handgun and have said they believe both men fired shots. Police also said there were no confirmed eyewitnesses and they could not determine who fired first; officials did not believe any other person was involved.
