Mobile man shot to death on lawn; suspect in custody
An altercation between two men led to one shot to death outside a Mobile home Saturday night.
Mobile police said officers were dispatched to the 1000 block of Elmira Street about 6:43 p.m. Saturday. Arriving at the scene, they found 53-year-old Patrick Orr laying on the lawn outside a residence, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
Orr was transported to a local hospital, but later died from his injuries.
Later Saturday, officers were notified of another man, identified as 53-year-old Samuel Demetries Grace, at Springhill Medical Center, receiving treatment for injuries he had sustained from the earlier altercation with Orr.
Grace was ultimately taken into custody and charged with Orr’s murder. He was taken to Mobile Metro Jail awaiting an initial court appearance.
