The Mobile Police Department’s homicide detectives did not get to take off the Fourth of July because they had to respond to a busy shopping center off Airport Boulevard.
Around 4:54 p.m., police were dispatched to the Festival Centre shopping center, where they found a man shot in the parking lot of Academy Sports + Outdoors.
The victim was taken to the hospital, where he died from a gunshot wound.
DeShaun Bonner, 22, was identified as the victim.
Police have not announced if any arrests have been made or if the incident was isolated.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Mobile Police Department at 251-208-7211.
