Al-Shehri is believed to have been the target of a US drone strike, that happened Wednesday, in the country.
Six other Al Qaeda members were present when the missile struck.
Shehri is a Saudi national who had been aiding Yemen's wing of Al Qaeda.
He once was a prisoner at Guantanamo Bay, but was released to Saudi authorities, who put him through a rehab program.
Al Qaeda in Yemen is considered to be the most dangerous branch, as it is one of the most successful.
Whole sections of the country have been taken over by the terrorist group.
The Yemen government has been waging a reclamation war to regain the country.
Saudi Arabia and the US have been funding the war and training troops, with the US also aiding in air strikes, via drones.
