Self-Defense Verdict in Eufaula Shooting | Huntsville News

A murder charge dropped against Devin Brooks, one of three cousins accused in the fatal shooting of 16-year-old Davion Green in Eufaula, Alabama — the judge ruled he acted in self-defense under Alabama’s Stand Your Ground law, citing years of threats and a recent drive-by attack that left him fearing for his life. Brooks, with no criminal record, claimed he was defending himself when he saw a masked gunman with a rifle pull up to his family’s home. The court found no evidence he provoked the situation, though the tragedy included an innocent bystander’s home being hit. Cases against the other two cousins remain active, highlighting the murky line between self-defense and deadly force amid ongoing gang intimidation.
