The Hale County community is mourning the tragic loss of Librian Jones Jr., a 24-year-old Greensboro resident who was fatally shot during a weekend gathering in the Sawyerville area.
According to Hale County Sheriff Michael Hamilton, the incident occurred around 7 p.m. on Saturday, June 6, during a “Class Day Out” event near the 16000 block of Alabama Highway 14.

The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency’s State Bureau of Investigation is assisting local officials in processing evidence, interviewing witnesses, and working to establish the sequence of events that led to the shooting.
At this stage, investigators have not publicly disclosed a motive, and many questions remain unanswered. Authorities are urging anyone with information about the case or the whereabouts of the suspect to contact local law enforcement immediately.
