Woman charged with murder; allegedly provided weapon used in Mobile County murder

A woman arrested Wednesday on murder and attempted murder charges in connection with a homicide in Mobile County – she is the third suspect charged in connection with the Aug. 7 incident – supplied the weapon used to kill a man and wound a woman in Grand Bay, authorities said.

Mobile County Sheriff's detectives concluded that Brittany Mentor, along with suspects Jesse Darrell Brown and Thomas Nickols Marshall, was “a willing participant” in the murder of Horace “Bubba” Eugene Sellers, the office said.

Mentor was in the same vehicle as Brown and Marshall at the time of the shooting, the sheriff's office said.

She allegedly confessed to providing and then hiding the gun used in the shooting that killed Sellers and injured a woman whose name has not been publicly released.

Mentor was arrested on Wednesday for murder and attempted murder.

The victims, who were shot in the 10,000 block of Hall Road in Grand Bay while collecting the woman's belongings, were able to escape to a Chevron gas station at 13320 Highway 90 to get help, the office said.

Chevron deputies found the woman with a gunshot wound to the upper back and Sellers with a gunshot wound to the upper back.

Sellers died while being treated at a local hospital, the sheriff's office said. The woman was recovering at the hospital, authorities said at the time.

Detectives from the sheriff's office interviewed the woman, who said she had just gone to get her belongings when Brown and Marshall allegedly arrived at the scene and began shooting at her and Sellers.
