Suspect sought in fatal Atmore shooting

Atmore police continue their search for Rodarious Tyrig Dailey, 22, who is wanted for murder in the Nov. 27 shooting death of a 17-year old Atmore teenager.

Police Chief Chuck Brooks said shortly before 3:30 p.m. Friday, police received a 911 call in reference to someone being shot at 163 Harris St.

When officers arrived at the scene, they discovered the male victim with a gunshot wound to his upper body. The 17-year old, whose name has not been released, was transported to Atmore Community Hospital where he later died.

Brooks said witnesses at the scene told officers the victim was sitting in the back seat of a vehicle parked at the Harris Street address when the gunman came onto the property and fired a weapon into the vehicle striking the victim.

The investigation led police to identify Dailey as the suspect and murder warrants were signed for his arrest.

Under Alabama law, Dailey could be charged with capital murder for shooting into an occupied vehicle.

Brooks said Dailey remains at large and is considered armed and dangerous.

If anyone has information concerning the whereabouts of Dailey they should call the Atmore Police Department at 251-368-9141 or their nearest law enforcement office.
