The Coosa County Sheriff’s Office has arrested a suspect in a fatal shooting that happened in Goodwater over a week ago.

21-year-old Lei-Keston Ford, of Alexander City, was arrested and charged with murder in the shooting death of 31-year-old Robin Braswell on January 14.

Deputies responded to a home on Coosa County Road 52 just after 2:30 a.m. after receiving a call that a person had been shot.

Once they arrived, they found Braswell suffering from a gunshot wound in the chest. Braswell was later pronounced dead at the hospital.

Ford is currently in the Coosa County Jail.
