Dothan Murder Suspect Arrested While Out on Bond

DOTHAN, Ala. (WDNews) – Raheem Powe, a man accused of shooting a “good Samaritan” to death outside of a Dothan nightclub last year, was arrested for assault charges this morning less than a month after being released from the Houston County Jail on bond.

Powe was arrested on the morning of Wednesday, July 3, and charged with one count of domestic violence strangulation.

Powe was previously held in the Houston County Jail on a murder charge until he posted a $150,000 bond last month. He is one of three people charged in the shooting of Shane Felder in March 2023.

Dothan Police say Felder was shot to death in the parking lot of the Pearl Lounge and Grill in the 2800 block of Ross Clark Circle after trying to de-escalate an argument involving Powe.

After his assault arrest this morning, Houston County Assistant District Attorney Robert Black requested Powe’s bond be revoked.

Judge Christopher Richardson is expected to rule on the request sometime Wednesday.
