Arrests Made In Figures Center Shooting

Three people are charged in the shooting death of a Mobile teenager. Police have charged 16-year-old Montreall Lockett and two other 15 year-olds with murder. 15-year-old Markel Anderson was hit by gunfire outside the Michael A. Figures Community Center Friday evening. He was taken USA Medical center and pronounced dead. Today friends put stuffed animals and a cross on the spot where Anderson was shot. Donald Street neighbors say violence here is not uncommon.

“I can't say about that because this really isn't the first time someone got shot, it's the first time somebody died but it ain't the first time anyone got shot,” says Jamal Young. He says he was nearby when the shooting happened. Police say the shooting is part of an ongoing dispute between the suspects from Prichard and members of the Toulmonville community. The 15-year-old suspects are in custody at the Strickland Youth Center.
