Tuscaloosa Violent Crimes Unit

A worker at a lumber mill in north Tuscaloosa County was killed in a workplace accident Wednesday night, investigators have confirmed.

The man who killed a nurse outside of Tuscaloosa's DCH Regional Medical Center earlier this month is clearly suffering from mental illness and will be involuntarily medicated, a judge ruled on Friday.

Investigators with the Tuscaloosa Violent Crimes Unit say a deadly police shooting on Thursday was a preventable tragedy that followed a long period of lying, followed by the perception of a deadly threat.

Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's deputies shot and killed a woman whose wanted brother was pointing a BB gun at police on Thursday morning. The suspect was also shot and has been charged with manslaughter for allegedly causing her death.

A father from Brookwood, already charged with manslaughter, may see that charge upgraded to felony murder over the death of his 13-month-old child in a hot car on Wednesday.

Loved ones and investigators have located the remains of a Northport woman who has been missing since early this month, the Tuscaloosa Violent Crimes Unit said Sunday.

Investigators in Tuscaloosa say the man accused of fatally shooting a nurse in the parking lot of Tuscaloosa's DCH Regional Medical Center was mentally ill and targeted her at random.

A woman is dead, and investigators have a suspect in custody after a shooting that led police to Tuscaloosa's DCH Regional Medical Center on Tuesday afternoon.

A woman has been charged with two counts of attempted murder after she allegedly shot her daughter and son-in-law at a residence in the Vance area of Tuscaloosa County on Saturday.

Two people are expected to survive after they were reportedly shot during a large gathering at West Tuscaloosa's Hay Court Apartments on Saturday.
