Captain Marty Sellers said Tuscaloosa resident Marcedes Turner, 35, has been charged with attempted murder and certain persons forbidden to possess a firearm, while a second suspect is still being sought by police.

The shooting occurred just before 5 p.m. in the 2000 block of Skyland Boulevard East at a gas station. Sellers said Tuscaloosa Police officers located one person who had been shot in the 3700 block of Hargrove Road E as they were attempting to drive themselves to the hospital for injuries not believed to be life-threatening.

"While officers were on scene at the gas station, a male came back to the scene and stated that he had been involved in the incident and surrendered a weapon," Sellers said. "Through the course of the investigation it was determined that three males got into an argument at the gas station in reference to an earlier incident between two of them."

He then said Turner was arrested on the aforementioned offenses and also charged with robbery in reference to a previous incident involving one of the other men involved in the shooting Monday afternoon.

Turner was transported to the Tuscaloosa County Jail where he is awaiting his bond to be set.

Those with information as to this shooting are asked to contact the Tuscaloosa County Violent Crimes Unit at (205) 464-8690.
