Prince Johnson, a 57-year-old Black man from Calera, was killed on September 8, 2018, in a midafternoon shooting at Kirksey Car Wash on 17th Avenue in Calera, Alabama. Reports say he was struck once in the chest or torso by a handgun around 3:15 p.m., and police sealed off the scene and opened a homicide investigation.

Authorities quickly detained a suspect. Calera police named 27-year-old Detorious Lamar Kirksey of Montevallo as the person taken into custody following the shooting; early accounts described him as arrested and held pending charges. Publicly accessible reporting lays out the shooting and the immediate arrest, but does not clearly show what followed in court or whether there was an indictment, trial, conviction, or other final outcome.

Does anyone have information on how the case progressed after the initial arrest or knew Prince Johnson personally?
