On the afternoon of Sunday, November 27, 2022, a 911 call from a frightened girlfriend brought police to an apartment at the Wheeler Estate complex on McEntire Lane S.W. in Decatur, Alabama, where officers found two men shot to death. One victim was 42-year-old Quinton Lamon Owens; the other was 29-year-old Codey Ray Schepp. Owens suffered seven gunshot wounds to his torso and at least 11 rounds had been fired in the apartment; two handguns were recovered.

Investigators say the killings occurred during a planned robbery that coincided with a drug transaction. Schepp’s girlfriend reported a bin of marijuana had been disturbed and that purses, a cellphone, and a suitcase were missing. Surveillance video and cellphone records showed Owens with a man identified as Demarcus Antoine Travis hours before the shootings and captured Travis inside Owens’ vehicle shortly before the deaths. Police publicly named Travis, then 40, as a suspect; he surrendered to the Decatur Police Department on December 16, 2022, and was arrested and charged with capital murder. After a January 6, 2023 preliminary hearing, the case was sent to a Morgan County grand jury.

Does anyone have information about Owens’ movements that afternoon or about the meeting arranged with Schepp?
