Alabama police say 3 killed in domestic dispute

Police say three adults slain at a mobile home park near Birmingham, Alabama, were killed in an apparent domestic dispute.

Gardendale Police Chief Mike Walker says everyone involved in the deadly shooting Wednesday morning was related. He says others outside the family aren’t believed to be in danger.

Authorities from multiple agencies and a helicopter were involved in the search for a man police identified as 52-year-old Kenneth Dion Lever of the Pensacola, Florida, area.

Walker told reporters that authorities believe the man has left the area and could be headed back toward his home in the Florida Panhandle. The suspect is believed to be in a red Nissan Sentra with Georgia tag RGC6858.

Opelika-Auburn News reports that Lee County coroner Bill Harris says 23-year-old Shaqueille O. Jones was pronounced dead at the scene. Opelika police Capt. Bobby Kilgore says Jones was found in a parking lot Tuesday evening after an officer patrolling nearby was flagged down and told about the incident.

Officials say the responding police officer immediately called for rescue personnel and paramedics but the victim succumbed to his wounds.

Police did not release further information and Kilgore says the investigation into the shooting is ongoing.
