As Patch previously reported, the shooting occurred at Bonita Terrace Apartments in the 1300 block of Hargrove Road, with Tuscaloosa Police Department officers responding at approximately 2:45 a.m. The male victim is reportedly in critical condition, but stable.

Captain Marty Sellers, co-commander of the Tuscaloosa Violent Crimes Unit, provided an update Thursday evening, saying the caller informed dispatchers that a male was shot and laying in the street.

Sellers then said when police arrived at the apartment complex, they found a 44-year-old male with a gunshot wound laying in the street near Building 58.

"Investigators interviewed witnesses who described an altercation between the victim and a female who later was identified as Talina Howze, a 40-year-old female, during which Howze pulled a gun and fired at the victim multiple times," Sellers said. " At this time there is no indication of a prior relationship between Howze and the victim."

Sellers said Howze was charged with attempted murder and her bond was set at $60,000.
