Romero Deon McMorris was 27 when he was fatally shot on the morning of December 25, 2018, in the Demetrius C. Newton Gardens public-housing area behind Miles College in Fairfield, Alabama. Early reports place the shooting on the 600 block of 55th Place at roughly 7:15 a.m. Neighbors found McMorris outside a home with gunshot wounds; he was taken to UAB Hospital’s trauma center in Birmingham and was pronounced dead after being transported for emergency care.

Investigators initially said the killing grew out of a dispute between McMorris and another man, a confrontation that escalated. At the time of the first public reports police indicated no arrest had been announced and the shooter had not been formally identified in those early statements.

Does anyone who lived in Fairfield or the Demetrius C. Newton Gardens area that morning have information about the incident or the people involved?
