Child Under the Age of 12 Struck By Gunfire After Dispute; One Suspect In Custody

(DOTHAN, Ala.) On May 27, 2025, just after 5:00 pm, Dothan Police Communications Center received a call from a local hospital of a juvenile under the age of 12 being treated for a suspected gunshot wound in the lower body. As officers were responding to the hospital, it was reported the gunfire occurred on Kristie Road in Dothan. Officers responded to the area of Kristie Road to attempt to locate the crime scene. After an investigation, investigators were able to locate and charge Octavenious Thomas (36) of Dothan with Assault 1^st degree, Attempted Assault 1^st Degree, and Shooting into an Occupied Vehicle. Thomas was placed in the Houston County Jail with bonds totaling $450,000.

The investigation found that two adult males were involved in a verbal altercation on Kristie Road. One of the males was Octavenious Thomas. The verbal altercation became physical and, as the male and the juvenile were in their vehicle leaving the scene, Thomas and another individual began shooting at the vehicle. The juvenile, who was not involved in the altercations, was struck twice, once in the lower body and a graze wound to the lower body. The juvenile was treated at a local hospital with non-life threatening wounds. Thomas was apprehended soon after the call was received and charged with the shooting. More arrests are possible.

This kind of indiscriminate violence will not be tolerated in the City of Dothan. Dangerous actions like these will have serious consequences. We are committed to working with the Houston/Henry County District Attorney’s Office to help prosecute individuals involved in violent crimes to the maximum extent allowed by law. We want to thank the members of the community who provided information during the investigation.

Four Charged with Robbery After Stealing Money While Armed

(DOTHAN, Ala.) On May 26, 2025 at 6:00 pm, Dothan Police responded to reports of a robbery of a person in the 2900 block of Saint Peter Street near Ross Clark Circle. It was reported to investigators, while the victim was visiting an acquaintance and seated in the vehicle, a person entered the passenger side of the vehicle. The suspect pulled a firearm and demanded property. During the robbery, it was reported three other individuals came from a residence in the 2900 block of Saint Peter Street to aid in the robbery also armed with firearms. After the robbery, the four suspects went into a residence. Due to the quick response from patrol officers, the residence was surrounded. Once people were removed from the residence, the four suspects were identified as Malachi Ray (19) of Columbia, AL, Dallas Porter (18) of Dothan, Camron Jackson of Dothan, and a juvenile under the age of 18 years old.

All suspects were charged with robbery 1^st degree and placed in the Houston County Jail. The juvenile, due to the nature and seriousness of the charge, is being charged as an adult. However, Alabama privacy laws prevent the identification of the juvenile. This dangerous conduct will have serious consequences. People who commit this type of crime will be found and held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.

Person carrying replica destructive device arrested

On April 29, 2025, officers with the Dothan Police Department responded to the area of the 200 block of East Main Street after multiple citizens reported a person carrying a rocket propelled grenade launcher in the area.

Officers contacted the individual and identified him as Keyun Marquez Hill, 26, of Cowarts, Alabama. Hill was found in possession of a replica device made to resemble a rocket propelled grenade launcher. Hill was subsequently arrested and charged with one count of Possession of a Hoax Destructive Device and booked into the Dothan City Jail. The hoax device was seized and placed into evidence.

Hill described himself as a social media prankster and was in the process of filming content. Entertainment takes many forms, however behavior such as this that alarms numerous people and can cause panic in a public space cannot be tolerated. We urge social media content creators to use common sense when practicing their craft.
