The May shooting in Goodwater that claimed the life of Malik Holtzclaw, about 100 feet away from where Jamal Robinson was fatally shot in August of 2021, led to community action and curfews — one of which is still in place. The curfew for people 18 and younger is 9 p.m. for weekdays and 10 p.m. for weekends.
“It will likely be in place until at least Christmas,” Goodwater police Chief Corey Shaw said last month at a town hall meeting following the Holtzclaw shooting in the Highlands. “There were 68 rounds fired here in Goodwater. We are not talking about Birmingham — we are not talking about Montgomery. We are talking about right here in Goodwater.”
