What happened to Randon Lee at a Prichard gas station?

Hadaway claimed that a suspect shot Lee after getting into his car.

The suspect reportedly got back into their car and took off with the other suspects as Lee, who had been shot, proceeded across the street to the Energize gas station for treatment. His death, according to the news source, happened quickly.

Days after her son’s passing, Nichols pleaded with readers in a Facebook post, asking them not to wrongly criticise her son because of how he died. We could never be ashamed of him for anything.

Mama Tot’s son was at a gas station when another car rolled up and someone inside started firing at Lee, according to Prichard Police. According to law police, Lee was there to meet with two people to sell marijuana.
