MOBILE, Alabama – A Mobile County jury has found Alfred Johnson guilty of Murder and Attempted Murder, District Attorney Keith Blackwood announced today.
On March 22, 2024, in the driveway of a home on Lundy Lane, Johnson shot and killed Cory Evans and severely injured a female victim. Johnson fled the scene in an effort to hide the weapon but was later apprehended when he returned to the crime scene.
During trial, the jury rejected Johnson’s claims of self-defense and defense-of-others, finding him guilty as charged for the Murder of Cory Evans and the Attempted Murder of the State’s female victim.
District Attorney Keith Blackwood stated:
“This was a senseless act of violence that stole a life and forever changed another. While nothing can undo the harm caused, today’s verdict ensures accountability and delivers justice for the victims and their families.”
The State of Alabama was represented by Assistant District Attorneys Katy Sipper and Dylan Szymanski, along with Victim Service Officer Reagan Frost.
Johnson’s co-defendant, Sharon Vallare, is awaiting trial scheduled to begin in December. Sentencing for Alfred Johnson is set for November 13, 2025.
*The female victim has requested not to be identified; therefore she is not named in this release.
