OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 05/18/2021, Montgomery police officers responded to reports of a possible kidnapping involving a man and a woman and obtained warrants for reckless endangerment and first-degree kidnapping. Officers received a tip that 32-year-old Gary Moncrief was at the Microtel Inn & Suites. Police say there was an exchange of gunfire when officers approached, and Moncrief was shot and killed during the encounter near a vehicle in which his mother, aunt, and a family friend were present. Moncrief’s estate and family have disputed police accounts, asserting he was unarmed and killed as he got into the car, and have sought access to video of the incident. Official investigations were ongoing at the time, and no charges have been publicly reported against officers involved.
