A Birmingham man is behind bars after authorities say he shot a woman to death at a Fairfield hotel, carjacked a family at gunpoint and then possibly fatally struck a bicyclist.

Cortney Dion Price, 38, is being held in the Jefferson County Jail on a murder charge. More charges are expected.

The ordeal began at 5:31 p.m. Saturday at a hotel on Kelco Place in Fairfield.

Jefferson County sheriff’s Deputy Chief David Agee said deputies were called to the hotel on a report of a shooting.

When they arrived, they found a 30-year-old woman suffering from a gunshot wound. She was later pronounced dead.

Witnesses told investigators the man – identified as Price – and the woman were arguing, and the woman was trying to get away from him. That’s when Price shot the woman, authorities said, and then fled on foot.

Agee said Price later emerged on Seminole Road in Fairfield – about 6:39 p.m. – and carjacked a family at gunpoint.

Just four minutes later – at 6:43 p.m. – a bicyclist was struck on Grasselli Road by a vehicle that sped away, Agee said. The bicyclist was pronounced dead on the scene.

Deputies spotted the stolen vehicle near Erie Street in Birmingham. After a brief pursuit, Price wrecked the vehicle and was taken into custody.

He was booked into the county jail at 9:27 p.m. and remains held without bond.
