Homicide off Hwy 26 in Shelby County

SHELBY COUNTY, Ala. --

A man, 52-year-old William Moore, Jr. was found dead in his Shelby County home.  Investigators said he was a victim of a homicide.

An autopsy confirmed he did not die of natural causes.  Also, his 2003 black Hummer is missing.

Alabama's 13 Digital Journalist Kalisha Whitman went to the area.  Whitman said some of the people in the area didn't even realize that type of crime happened.

Whitman spoke to three people - two of them off camera.  They said they hadn't seen Moore's Hummer in a few days.  They didn't really know him or a lot about him, but they were shocked to hear he was the victim of a homicide.

The person who Whitman spoke to on camera, Bea Massey, said to her knowledge this is the first time a homicide has happened in her community.

She said she is not scared; however, she will be watchful.

Massey said, "I'm going to contain my nerves. I will make sure my doors are locked and my windows stay locked."

An arrest has not been made. Investigators said they do not believe this was a random act or that there is any immediate threat to other residents in the area. 

Anyone with information about this crime is urged to contact the Shelby County Sheriff's Office directly at (205)669-4181, through the secret witness line at (205)669-9116.

Published: Thursday, August 23, 2012, 5:55 p.m. MONROE -- Detectives believe a 7-year-old Monroe boy's parents should face second-degree manslaughter charges in connection with his January overdose death. Monroe police this week wrapped up their probe into the boy's Jan. 30 death and forwarded the case to prosecutors to decide if his parents should face criminal charges. Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Lisa Paul likely will begin reviewing the case in the coming days. She doesn't expect to make a charging decision in the near future, however. "It's quite an extensive investigation, and I want to review it thoroughly before I make any decision," she said. The boy, identified as "A.J." in court papers, ingested a lethal amount of salicylates, a chemical common in aspirin and other over-the-counter drugs. The medical examiner declined to conduct an autopsy on the boy, making it difficult to determine how the drug ended up in the boy's system. A
