Violence marred the New Year’s holiday weekend in Uniontown as a man has been charged with capital murder in the wake of a fatal shooting.
Nathaniel Moore, 24, of Uniontown, was arrested at the Uniontown police department Saturday and charged with capital murder. Moore is currently held at the Perry County Jail in Marion without bond.
According to Uniontown Chief of Police Donald Rhodes, the Uniontown PD responded to a call Friday evening at 10:30 p.m. Police arriving at the scene found a shooting victim and immediately called paramedics, but the victim died en route to hospital care.
The victim was later identified as Jeremiah Lucy, 29, of Uniontown.
Moore was held at Uniontown PD as Rhodes notified the Alabama Bureau of Investigation, and the following day he was arrested and charged.
Full details of the circumstances of the shooting are still under investigation, but Rhodes allowed that a third party, a female, may have played a role in sparking the altercation.
