This is truly sad. This man was loved by many including me and my family. Someone knows something and who cares if you will be “a snitch”… if it was someone you knew it would be different. RIP shawn I hope we get justice soon
He was from my hometown of Camden…I knew him when he was a baby, I know his mother and sisters, very respectable, not a trouble maker at all…just don’t understand why he was killed.
Does Atmore PD know how to conduct a death investigation?
They care, but only as far as the community they serve does.
Witnesses refuse to cooperate then blame law enforcement for not being able to clear cases. The same people who tell you the cops are their enemy are the ones refusing to share what they know because they’re not”snitches”!
Earning a badge doesn’t make anyone psychic, they need information.
Chris this situation isn’t a joking matter. Someone lost a love one. Have some care, concern, and compassion.
It’s truly sad, you can’t ride your bicycle anymore, can take a walk without someone fallen to sleep, texting, running off the road n hitting you. Can’t enjoy living in your home that you work hard for, without someone breaking in n killing you or taking your things. The world has turned evil. It’s truly praying time for this nation. May God bless!!!!
This will probably go unsolved just like the murder of my uncle a few years ago. Atmore PD just doesn’t have the resources or care to solve these crimes.
Dont smoke cigarettes
