BIRMINGHAM, AL - A manhunt that lasted all through Monday evening into Tuesday morning resulted in the arrest of a suspect who has bow been charged with multiple offenses. Anthony Jonell Moore faces attempted murder charges, in addition to charges of discharging firearms into an occupied vehicle.

The incident began shortly before 10 p.m. Monday in the 700 block of Georgia Road when East Precinct officers on patrol spotted a vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed.
