Huntsville police identify victim in fatal shooting last week

Huntsville police have identified the victim in a Jan. 10 shooting that resulted in murder charges against two men last week.

Demetrius King, 46, was shot to death following an incident in the 200 block of Derrick Street last Tuesday at 9 p.m.

King was transported to the hospital where he died from a gunshot wound.

John Brandon Boles, 29, and Ethan Lyn Bates, 20, were arrested last Friday in connection with the case.

HPD Major Crimes Unit investigators believe the two were driving in the area when they discharged a weapon, leading to King’s death.
