Lakisha Ousley, Javaon Ousley’s mother, said to Alabama.com: “He was outgoing, friendly. He wasn’t a bad child. He didn’t get in no trouble. He was ready to go to college and get him a degree.” Ouslet graduated from Winterboro High School, a Talladega County school in 2018 and was about to start his second year at Alabama A&M University.

The shooting reportedly happened at a basketball court near the housing complex where she and her son lived.

“When I pulled up, they had him on the sheets,” Lakisha said. “I don’t know what happened to my son. I’m still trying to figure that out.”

WAAY reports, “Investigators say Javaon Ousley shot an off-duty police officer in the arm Tuesday afternoon.” Police claimed the officer will be placed on paid administrative duty when returns to work.

It is not clear what lead up to the altercation. However, Carroll Watson, the mayor of Lincoln, told WAAY 31 Ousley met up with a woman he met on Facebook to sell something.
