Bruce Gray was shot and killed shortly after 8 p.m. Oct. 9 outside his home at 22 Commodore Drive.

Now Crime Stoppers of Dallas County is looking for tips to help local law enforcement solve the crime.

After initially being rushed to the emergency room at Vaughan Regional Medical Center, Gray was airlifted by helicopter to UAB Hospital in Birmingham. He died en route.

When Selma Police Department investigators arrived at the scene, they found the electricity to Gray’s house was off. They theorize that Gray was shot when he went outside to check on the power.

Nearby witnesses reported hearing multiple gun shots coming from the area of the crime. Police found shell casings from a 9mm handgun at the scene. Several witnesses provided police with descriptions of possible suspects and a vehicle.

No motive for the crime has been established at this time.

Jacobs declined to say when an arrest would be made, &uot;but I have all the confidence in the world in saying that one will be made – and soon.&uot;

Gray’s death is the ninth murder that has occurred in Selma this year. Seven arrests have been made in those cases, each one within a week of the incident.

Jacobs pointed to two cases in the same area of Gray’s death, which occurred a few days after the shooting. One involved a home invasion and shooting of a DVD player; the other concerned a home invasion and robbery. Officers found 14 bullet holes on the side of one man’s home in the latter case.
