Captain Jack Kennedy, commander of the multiagency unit, told local media that 24-year-old Corey Lewis, of Eutaw, has been charged with first degree assault after being arrested on Friday, July 29.

He has since been released from the Tuscaloosa County Jail after his bond was set at $60,000.

As Patch previously reported, officers with the Tuscaloosa Police Department responded around 1:20 a.m. on July 27 to a call of a shooting at Spades.

Once on scene, officers found one victim suffering from a single gunshot wound who was transported to DCH Regional Medical Center for treatment.

"It was determined that there was an altercation between two groups of people," Kennedy explained. "One group of individuals armed themselves once outside the establishment, and fired multiple rounds at the other group. The victim that was struck was not involved in the altercation and was an innocent bystander."

Kennedy then said the case is under active investigation and several persons of interest are still being sought.

Those with information into this incident are encouraged to contact the VCU at (205) 464-8690.
