In 2023, Officer Mac Marquette of the Mobile Police Department was charged with murder for fatally shooting Steve Perkins during the recovery of his truck. Marquette’s attorneys argue that Perkins pointed a weapon at the officer, justifying the use of deadly force. A video of the incident shows Marquette firing nearly 20 times, leading to public protests in Decatur. The murder trial is set to proceed following a court ruling.
