Selma Man Shot and Killed, Suspect Wanted by Authorities
From the West Alabama Newsroom– A Selma man is dead — and another is now wanted by police — after a shooting in Selma over the weekend.
Police Chief Kenta Fulford says this latest murder — marks the the city’s 6th homicide of the year.
He says police responded to the 400 block of Twenty Foot Avenue at around 2 AM Saturday morning — and found a man lying in the street — unresponsive.
“Upon arrival officers discovered a black male — 27 year old Kendarius Jackson on the ground with what appeared to be a gunshot wound.”
Fulford says Jackson was pronounced dead at the hospital.
“He was transported by family members to the Vaughan ER — where he was later pronounced deceased.”
Detectives have since identified a suspect in the case. And 19 year old Demetrice Brown of Selma — is now wanted for murder.
Brown should be considered — armed and dangerous.
“If anybody have any information we’re encouraging them to give the police department a call — 334-874-2125,” said Fulford.
