In the early hours of Sunday morning, at around 7:28 AM, authorities from the Muscle Shoals Police Department, Muscle Shoals Fire Department, and Keller EMS rushed to the Red Roof Inn on Woodward Avenue in response to a distressing incident. The call pertained to a victim who had been shot.
Tragically, the victim was identified as a fifteen-year-old juvenile hailing from Tuscumbia. Following the swift emergency response, the victim was swiftly transported to Helen Keller Hospital. Despite the best efforts of medical personnel, the young individual succumbed to their injuries and was regrettably pronounced deceased.
In connection to this heartbreaking event, a sixteen-year-old juvenile from Florence has been apprehended and taken into custody by law enforcement. It is anticipated that formal criminal charges will be levied against the juvenile offender in the appropriate legal proceedings as the investigation unfolds. The community remains in shock as details continue to emerge surrounding this devastating incident.
