ENTERPRISE, Ala. (WDNews) — A Coffee County judge has ordered a defendant accused of murder to be held without bond following an Aniah’s Law hearing this week.
Court records show Jumirrus Flowers appeared Jan. 12 in the District Court of Coffee County, Enterprise Division, before Judge Josh Wilson. The hearing had been continued from December by agreement of both sides.
Flowers is charged with murder in the death of Jimvonte Critten, who was killed Dec. 15, 2025, in ENTERPRISE. The State was represented by James Tarbox.
Testimony presented during the hearing showed Flowers has two prior felony convictions and was on probation for a misdemeanor offense at the time of the shooting.
According to evidence, a social gathering was taking place at a residence on West Watts Street on the night of Dec. 15. Critten was involved in a physical altercation at the home, and Flowers is also alleged to have been part of that incident.
After the altercation ended, Critten attempted to leave through the front door with the assistance of a minor child. While trying to open the door, he was shot by Flowers and a co-defendant, Michael Andrews.
Critten was struck once in the right foot and once in the back. An autopsy conducted by the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences determined the gunshot wound to the back caused his death. Witness statements and Flowers’ own statement to law enforcement attribute that fatal shot to Flowers.
Testimony also showed Flowers gave his firearm to Andrews after the shooting, and Andrews attempted to hide the weapon. Flowers fled the scene but later turned himself in to authorities.
On Jan. 13, Judge Wilson issued an order ruling that Flowers will be held without the right to bond while the murder case is pending.
“The State appreciates Judge Wilson’s Order in this case and believes it is proper in this matter to hold Defendant Flowers without bond,” Tarbox said.
The case remains pending action by a grand jury. No further comment was released.
