When officers arrived, they found a man suffering from a gunshot wound, sitting in a vehicle in the of the apartment complex. The victim was transported to Andalusia Health, and later taken by helicopter to a Florida trauma center, where he died Thursday morning. He was later identified as Cobbins.

Hudson said the APD is appreciate of the assistance received from the community in the investigation so far.

“The information we have received has been helpful, but we still need the public’s assistance in identifying the person responsible for the shooting,” Hudson said.

On the night of the shooting, the APD released a description of the suspect, and asked for help in identifying and locating him. The suspect was a black male wearing what appeared to be a black shirt and a blue hoodie, with black jogging-type pants with a white stripe down the side. He was wearing red tennis shoes.

Both the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency and the Covington County Sheriff’s Office assisted with the initial investigation, and the county’s tracking team assisted in the attempt to locate the suspect, who fled the scene on foot.

“I also appreciate the work of our officers, who have worked non-stop on this case since the first reports came in,” Hudson said. He also expressed his appreciation to ALEA and to the sheriff’s office, as well as the management of Foxwood Apartments.

Central Alabama Crimestoppers also is assisting with the case.
