Tuscaloosa Violent Crimes Unit commander, Captain Jack Kennedy, told local media that the Tuscaloosa Police Department was initially called at 8 p.m. Saturday to the apartments on 33rd Street on a report of a shooting.

As Patch previously reported, responding officers found two men had been shot.

Kennedy said both men received wounds that were not life-threatening and are expected to survive.

"It was determined that one group of individuals fired upon one of the injured individuals first, who then returned fire in apparent self-defense," he said. "One of the suspects was also injured during the exchange of fire"

Kennedy then said Kejuan Arrington, 25, was charged with attempted murder, in addition to having his release revoked on a previous criminal charge. As a result, he was not provided with a bond.

The second man arrested — Antwone Stowe, 23 — was also charged with attempted murder and booked into the Tuscaloosa County Jail. His bond was set at $250,000.

Investigators learned from witnesses and surveillance video that multiple persons were seen firing their weapons and Kennedy said the investigation into the issue of self-defense will also move forward before being turned over to the District Attorney’s Office for review.

The Tuscaloosa Violent Crimes Unit asks anyone who was present or witnessed the shooting to contact investigators at (205) 464-8690.
