A west Alabama man is charged with capital murder in the slaying of his uncle.

The Pickens County Sheriff’s Office and the 24th Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s Office on Monday announced the arrest of 37-year-old Erick Lindsey.

Pickens County sheriff’s deputies and officers from the Aliceville and Carrollton police departments responded to a report of gunfire in the 90 block of County Road 87 during the early morning hours Friday.

When they arrived, they found 63-year-old Willie Lindsey Jr. dead inside his residence.

“Our investigators quickly identified Erick Lindsey as the suspect and took him into custody without incident later Friday morning,” Sheriff Jordan Powell said. “The investigation remains ongoing, but we do not believe anyone else was involved. “

Erick Lindsey, of Aliceville, is being held in the Pickens County Jail with no bond set. He is charged with two counts of capital murder during the course of a burglary.
