Victim In Alabama May Day Shooting Identified As Century Woman
May 16, 2024
Family members have identified one of the three victims of a deadly shooting in Baldwin County last Saturday as a mother of four from Century.
Chiquita Ewing, 38, was a Century resident and employee of Century pharmacy, family said.
Eighteen people were shot , three of which died, during a gathering Saturday night in north near Stockton, Alabama.
About 9:30 p.m. Saturday, deputies with the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office responded to reports of gunshots in the Stockton Community. The preliminary investigation revealed that local residents hosted a May Day event in an open field on Upper Bryant’s Landing Road. BCSO estimated that there were approximately 1,000 people attending this gathering.
According to witnesses, the event was peaceful until an argument took place, which led to at least one subject shooting multiple rounds into the large crowd. A total of 18 people were shot during this incident. Three of the victims succumbed to their wounds.
Investigators believe that there may have been more shooters and are following up.
“This is a tragic event that touches many lives in our community. We are working very hard to bring this case to a resolution, but we cannot make arrests or successfully prosecute the offenders without help,” BCSO said Sunday. Anyone with information is asked to contact the BCSO at (251) 972-8589, option 7.

I’m a customer of century pharmacy. I’ve met her on several occasions and she had the sweetest spirit about her. It’s a sad day for everyone who knew her. I pray for her family, especially her children. I know it can’t be easy. God Bless them all. I saw the news interview and I am praying for you too. Bless them Lord.
Such a sad loss and family and friends forever in a loss to. If you see something report it. Guns are never the problem, people knowing no one will report them will always be the culprits
Wow I’m very sorry for your loss family
This woman was so sweet! From when she worked at Shell in Atmore to Ramey’s in Atmore, every time I saw her she always had a smile and made you laugh. It’s so sad and my prayers are with the family and her children.
This is just senseless. It’s not supposed to happen like this. Chiquita was the sweetest person you would ever meet, and that big bright smile would brighten your day. My condolences go out to them four sweet babies that now have to go on in life without their mom. This gun violence has got to stop, something has got to change, innocent lives are being taken for no reason. You can’t go to any gathering anymore without a shootout erupting. It shouldn’t be that way. Justice definitely needs to be served in her senseless murder. R.I.P Chiquita that infectious smile will be missed by many. My condolences to her family and them four sweet babies.❤️
So sad.
She, was A Sweetie always polite & Smiling
Such a senseless tragedy this Wonderful young lady only wanted to have a good time. These misdirected cowardly folks need to man up fight like a man if you have a dispute and not break out the gun you stole to settle what you call a beef. This has got to stop
So sorry for your loss
My husband and I are going to miss her so much. There is not a time that I went into the pharmacy and she didn’t not say hey Mrs. Rita how are you doing and where is Mr. Reggie. If she didn’t see Reggie and I said he was in the car she made it her business to walk out to the car and see him. We are going to miss that sweet voice of hers and that sweet smile. We love you lady. My prayers go out to her children and family. Just remember she was a beautiful person to be around.
Prayers for the family!
She was the sweetest lady. Prayers for family and friends ❤️
