When officers arrived at the scene, they were told that the victim was taken to Vaughan Regional Medical Center in a private vehicle. Officers went to the emergency room and met with doctors about the victim.

“Officers were directed to a 27-year-old black male with a gunshot wound to the left side of his head,” Muhannad said. “The victim told officers he was not sure of what happen.”

The investigation led police to suspect Brown.

“The shooting is believed to stem from an ongoing dispute between Kirby and the victim,” Muhannad said.

The victim was airlifted to a Birmingham area hospital for treatment.

He is stable as of Monday afternoon, according to Muhannad.

Anyone that has information about Brown’s whereabouts is asked to call the Selma Police Department at 874-6611 or Crime Stoppers at (866) 442-7463. Calls will remain confidential.
