Four More Charged With Murder, Attempted Murder In Atmore Double Shooting
June 27, 2025
Four additional suspects have been charged with the murder of Atmore teen earlier this week, and they have also been charged with multiple counts of attempted murder for a shooting incident last year.
Exavion Bradley, age 20; Kcarheem McKenzie, age 19; Timothy Sanders, age 18; and a 17-year-old juvenile, all from Atmore, have been charged with murder and attempted murder for a shooting early Tuesday morning that claimed the life of 17-year-old Gabriel Elijah Hooks of Atmore (pictured left) and injured one other person.
The shooting happened on Carver Avenue near 18th Avenue after a vehicle race, and police recovered “dozens” of spent shell casings.
Javarius Watkins, 24, and Tyler Hall, 22, were both charged with murder and attempted murder earlier this week.
According to Atmore Police, evidence recovered following the June 24 shooting directly linked Bradley, McKenzie, Sanders, and the 17 year-old juvenile to a shooting that occurred on October 31, 2024. All four have each been charged with five counts of attempted murder, two counts of discharging a firearm into an unoccupied dwelling, two counts of discharging a firearm into an unoccupied dwelling, and three counts of discharging a firearm into an unoccupied vehicle.
According to police, four houses — two of them occupied by families — were struck by gunfire, along with three parked vehicles in the October shooting.

You can’t fix stupid! What a shame!
My question is why. Why did this happen? What is their reason for taking a life, almost taking another, destroying their lives, over a drag race? What is the real reason for being so wreckless, irresponsible, & foolish? Atmore has gotten very dangerous & it’s sad to see what these young people are doing to others & themselves.
Someone finally broke to have this many arrests going on.
And it was overdue. Stop protecting these criminals.
This is Sad,the only thing being helped in this case is Holman Prison or W.E Donaldson a count numbers…If you Fellas dont mind doing the time the State of Alabama doesent play about locking folks up and throwing away the key…If you think riding around,shooting Folks is Kool..Keep it up…Youre,gonna be caught.No,Conemnation on my part,just facts.
