Tuscaloosa's First Homicide of 2007
Tuscaloosa County Homicide Detectives are investigating the city’s first homicide of the year.
It happened Thursday night around 11:00pm at the Old Colony trailer park on Spring Drive in Cottondale. Homicide investigators say a 31-year-old man entered a home and assaulted people inside the trailer. Shortly after, one person inside the trailer shot the suspect.
Homicide investigators say that so far no charges have been filed in the case. “It appears that the deceased was breaking into [the] residence and was assaulting the two males in the residence when he was shot, so there is a self defense issue”, says Lt. Lloyd Baker of Tuscaloosa County Homicide. “We will be presenting this case to the grand jury.”
The man who shot the victim was transported to DCH, there was no word on his condition at the time of this article’s posting.
