Mobile police ID suspects sought in shooting at Walmart self-checkout line

Three teenagers are being sought by Mobile police on attempted murder warrants in connection with Tuesday night’s shooting at a Walmart self-checkout line that injured two people.

Karmelo Derks, 18, and 19-year-old suspects Jimaurice Pierce and Darrius Rowser also have active warrants for first-degree assault in connection with the shooting Tuesday night at the Walmart Supercenter at the Beltline at 101 East I-65 Service Road South, Cpl. Katrina Frazier said Friday.

Police have yet to piece together a motive for the shooting that injured a male and a female, who suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

The gunfire erupted after two separate groups of people were involved in an altercation.

One group was at the self-checkout line when the other group entered the store.

One person in each group exchanged gunfire, police said.

The shooting prompted a lockdown of the Walmart.

Anyone with information on the suspects’ whereabouts was asked to call Mobile police at 251-208-7211 or send an anonymous tip or text to 844-251-0644 or mobilepd.org/crimetip.
