Mobile Man Charged With Murder After Shooting Strikes Three Homes, Kills One

Three homes, two vehicles, one dead. That's what Mobile Police found when they responded to the 7000 block of Forest Glenn Court around 4:30 a.m. on March 22 - dispatched initially on a disorderly conduct call that turned out to be a shooting that left 24-year-old Willie Allen dead and a neighborhood peppered with bullet holes.

Three days later, police arrested Demontae Bradberry, 23, charging him with murder, first-degree assault, and multiple counts of discharging a firearm into a building or vehicle.

Allen and a second victim didn't wait for an ambulance. Both transported themselves to a local hospital, where Allen was pronounced dead. The second victim's injuries were non-life-threatening. That self-transport complicated early evidence collection on Forest Glenn Court, where investigators were already working across five separate crime scenes: three residences and two parked, unoccupied vehicles, all struck by gunfire in a single pre-dawn incident.

The breadth of the physical damage drove a charge sheet built to reflect each distinct criminal act. Prosecutors carrying multiple counts of discharging a firearm into a building or vehicle alongside the murder and assault charges will need to tie specific rounds to specific structures, a task that leans heavily on ballistic analysis and shell casing recovery from a scene that had gone cold by the time officers arrived.

Bradberry's arrest came March 25, three days after the shooting. Mobile Police made clear the case wasn't closed with a single arrest; investigators stated additional arrests remained possible as witness interviews and forensic testing continued. Anyone with information about the Forest Glenn Court shooting was asked to contact Mobile Police.
