Crime and investigations in Selma, Alabama
Overview
In late July 2026, the Selma Police Department and the State Bureau of Investigation announced arrests in two separate criminal cases. Damon Kanard Hooks, Jr., 18, was arrested in connection with a homicide, while Tygee Malik Smith, 44, was taken into custody on charges of first-degree rape and enticing a minor following a joint operation with federal and local agencies.
By late August 2026, authorities were investigating two new, unrelated shooting incidents occurring over a single weekend. On August 22, a 19-year-old man died from a gunshot wound to the torso after his vehicle crashed into a railroad crossing signal on Martin Luther King Street. A second shooting occurred early August 23 on Alabama Avenue, leaving one person injured. As of August 24, investigators have not determined if these shootings are linked, and no suspects have been identified.
