Sheriff’s investigators now believe the shooting at Pelican Point Friday night did not begin with a domestic dispute between a man and woman as first thought, but rather the result of an argument between two men.
Deputies said Gregory Johnson of Fairhope was talking with a female when another man pulled up in pickup and began arguing with Johnson. Investigators said the argument escalated and the woman walked away.
Deputies said Johnson initiated the shooting when he fired into the pickup, striking their victim in the forehead. They said this is based off an interview with the survivor and witness statements which corroborate his statement. Investigators said they’re currently treating this as a case of self-defense but will be meeting with the District Attorney’s Office to go over the evidence.
So far, detectives have talked with the woman they said Johnson was talking with as well as the unidentified man who was shot in the head. He’s still recovering at a local hospital. Some witnesses have been interviewed but deputies said there are many more who deputies would like to speak with. “When I heard this had happened down here, I was surprised but I’m kind of glad…really kind of glad I wasn’t here when that happened because I probably would have been real scared myself,” said Noah Autry of Daphne.
