Huntsville police charge 16-year-old in fatal Tuesday triple-shooting
A 16-year-old has been charged with capital murder following a fatal shooting Tuesday afternoon in Huntsville that left one person dead and two others wounded.
Huntsville police said an investigation into the shooting on Max Luther Drive at 4:40 p.m. Tuesday is continuing, and other arrests are expected.
According to police, an officer responded to Huntsville Hospital after three gunshot victims arrived for treatment.
One of the victims died at the hospital. Another remains in the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Police said the shooting involved juveniles in two vehicles on Max Luther Drive, just west of Washington Street.
Investigators believe the incident involves a dispute between the juveniles that began before Tuesday.
Just prior to the shooting, the victims were followed from the area of Blue Spring Road and Sparkman Drive to Max Luther Drive, when the incident happened.
Officers dispatched to the scene recovered ballistic evidence. Less than two hours later, police found the vehicle suspected in the incident.
The two juvenile occupants were detained and interviewed. One was charged with capital murder and the other was released, police said.
The name of the suspect charged in the shooting was not released.
