Wilcox Co. Sheriff’s Office investigates fatal shooting in Alberta
From the West Alabama Newsroom–
A man is dead — and another is behind bars — following a shooting in the Alberta community of Wilcox County.
Capt. Kenny Hardin with the Wilcox Co. Sheriff’s Office says 65 year old Eddie James Jones is charged with murder in the case.
He says Jones was homeless — and had been living with the victim.
Hardin says the shooting stemmed from an argument between the two men.
He says it happened at around 11:30 Sunday morning at a trailer on Jack Bonham Road.
The name of the victim is being withheld — pending notification of family members.
“Based on information gathered it’s gon’ be his step-daddy that he shot,” said Hardin.
“So it’s still under investigation. We’re still working on it.”
Jones is being held without bond in the Prince Arnold Detention Center in Camden.
