Authorities have released the names of a man and woman killed in Fairfield during a bizarre string of events that ended with a suspect in jail.

The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office identified the victims as Kernisha Jenay McClinon, 30, and Ray B. Dover Jr., 60.

Cortney Dion Price, 38, is being held in the Jefferson County Jail on a murder charge in McClinon’s death. He has not yet been charged in Dover’s death, but the coroner’s office lists both deaths as companion cases and sheriff’s officials said more charges against Price are expected.

The ordeal began at 5:31 p.m. Saturday at the Budgetel Motel 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 McClinon suffering from a gunshot wound. She was pronounced dead on the scene at 6:03 p.m.

Witnesses told investigators Price and McClinon were arguing, and the woman was trying to get away from him. That’s when Price shot McClinon , 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. – Dover was riding a bicycle on Grasselli Road when he was struck by a vehicle that sped away, Agee said. He was pronounced dead on the scene at 7:32 p.m.

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. Saturday and remains held without bond.
