Lt. Scott Owens said officers responded around 2 a.m. on Feb. 11 to the 2100 block of Saddlewood Trail, where they found a man with non-life-threatening injuries. The victim told police he encountered someone inside his home and was shot while trying to get the person to leave. The suspect fled the scene.
Within two hours, officers located and questioned a person of interest, but his alibi was verified and he was cleared.
Police say the suspect appeared to be someone known to the victim. The investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with surveillance footage between midnight and 2 a.m. is asked to contact Dothan Police at 334-615-3632 or submit video through the department’s online evidence portal.
