Sylacauga police are investigating two violent crimes that
happened within hours of each other Wednesday and Thursday.
The first incident happened Wednesday at 9 p.m. An
18-year-old female and 21-year-old male – neither of whom has been identified –
were sitting in their car when an unknown assailant described as a black male
approached their vehicle and fired two shots from a handgun.
The victims fled with
the vehicle to Coosa Valley Medical Center. The woman was treated and released,
while the male was transported to a Birmingham hospital. According to reports,
he is still in the hospital but in stable condition.
A few hours later, at roughly 1 a.m., a 36-year-old man was
found stabbed in a vehicle.
A Sylacauga police officer pulled up to a truck that was in
a business parking lot near Old Birmingham Highway. The driver drove a short
distance and stopped, at which point three men ran away from the vehicle.
Upon investigation, the officer found the victim with
multiple stab wounds. He was transported to a Birmingham hospital. According to
police, the incident likely stems from an argument between the victim and one
of the suspects from inside the vehicle.
Both cases are currently under investigation by the
Sylacauga Police Department.
