Two murders in a week have the town of Sylacauga on edge.
The Sylacauga Police Chief is asking the community for help in solving two
homicides.
Police Chief Chris Carden says their town has a
responsibility to find the person or people behind these two murders. Chief
Carden says he believes the two crimes are related.
18-year-old Kieria Reynolds died late Saturday night. Police
say they found her laying on Church Avenue with a gunshot wound. Investigators
say the suspects forced their way into her apartment, shot Reynolds and
assaulted another person.
Police were given a description of the suspects. They are
described as two black men, about 5’7″ and 5’11”, both wearing black hoodies.
One of the men was wearing a white mask. They came into the apartment through
the back door. Police say it appears they were trying to rob the house.
On April 5th, 39-year-old Gerry Louis Wallace was shot at
his home on Main Avenue. Wallace was taken to University Hospital in
Birmingham, where he later died. The two murders are just blocks apart.
Chief Carden says the community needs to help officers out
in gathering information.
Cheif Carden is hoping that someone will come forward with
information that can help investigators. He’s holding a meeting with the
community this evening at St. Thomas Church on Milton and Main. It starts at
6:00 p.m.
