City officials in Tuskegee say a man has been charged with murder after a fatal shooting and standoff.
Police were called to the 600 block of Lakeshore Apartments at around 7AM on a report of a dead body. Officials say residents told them that a neighbor, Stanley Dixon, had shot James Earl Daniels, and said he also shot at a female, causing her to suffer a graze wound.
Officials say they were told Dixon had also shot at other residents before barricading himself inside his apartment.
The Macon County Sheriff’s Office, the ALEA SWAT and ALEA State Bureau of Investigation all took part in hostage negotiations. Dixon came out of his apartment and surrendered to law enforcement without incident, officials say.
Dixon is charged with murder, three counts of attempted murder and firing a gun into an occupied dwelling.
