Murder investigation underway after a shooting in Wilcox Co.

From the West Alabama Newsroom–

A 21 year old young woman is dead — and a murder investigation is underway — following a shooting in Wilcox County.

Sheriff Larry Colston says the shooting happened Monday morning — at a house just outside of the Camden city limits.

He says deputies responded to a shooting call — on the 400 block of Union Grove Road — at around 11:20 am.

“Once the deputies investigating arrived they found, I think a 21 year old black female murdered at that residence,” said Colston.

The victim has been identified — as Alexis Thomas of Pine Apple.

Colston says investigators processed the crime scene. And sent Thomas’ body to forensics — for an autopsy.

“We continue investigating the case right now. It hadn’t been an arrest. But we hope to make an arrest soon.”
