Mobile Homeowner Kills Intruder in Self-Defense, District Attorney Reviewing Case
A homeowner in Mobile, Alabama, shot and killed a man who reportedly broke into their residence through a window. The incident occurred on Calgary Drive, prompting Mobile police to respond to a shots-fired call on Monday night. Investigators identified the deceased as 37-year-old David Lee Jr., who allegedly gained unauthorized entry into the home. The Mobile County District Attorney’s Office has confirmed it is reviewing the shooting as a potential self-defense case. This review is being conducted under Alabama’s stand-your-ground law, which permits homeowners to use force, including deadly force, against an intruder without a duty to retreat when their home is unlawfully entered. A neighbor expressed sadness over the death but supported the homeowner's actions as necessary for protection. No additional details regarding the incident have been released at this time.
