South Alabama district attorney investigating fatal shooting of 65-year-old woman

The Mobile County District Attorney’s Office is investigating the murder of 65-year-old Patricia Odoms.

On Friday, July 4, at approximately 12:30 a.m., officers responded to a reported assault on the 1500 block of Matzenger Drive in Mobile.

Upon arrival, officers found Odoms with a gunshot wound, and she was transported to a local hospital.

Police discovered through further investigation that she was shot by a man she knew during an altercation.

Odoms died Sunday, July 13, at the hospital as a result of her injuries, according to the release.

This remains an active investigation, but Mobile police say they will not release any further information as the case is “now in the hands of the DA’s Office.”
