A popular Demopolis High School student-athlete was shot and killed during an apparent altercation on Sunday.
Demopolis Police Chief Rex Flowers released a report Monday identifying the gunshot victim as 17-year-old Isaiah Henley.
Henley is a rising senior and a football and baseball standout at Demopolis High School.
The report says police got a call at 5:58 p.m. Sunday through Marengo County 911 to respond to a shooting that occurred on Rainbow Circle. Officers arrived to find Henley suffering from a gunshot wound. He was transported to Whitfield Regional Hospital by Amstar EMS, where he succumbed to his injuries, the report said.
Police have arrested 39-year-old James Lenard Zanders for Henley’s murder after an investigation.
“It appears this is the result of an altercation between several individuals and the investigation is still ongoing at this time,” Flowers said in a statement.
