Apparent Altercation Over Money Leads to Fatal Shooting in Anniston; Suspect in Custody Charged with Murder

One man was killed and another jailed following a shooting in Anniston early Wednesday.

Anniston police were dispatched to the 1800 block of Moore Avenue around 7:30am after a report of shots being fired at that location and upon arrival they found 29 year old Tavosiea Thomas suffering from apparent gunshot wounds.  Emergency personnel treated him at the scene and then took him to an area hospital where he was pronounced dead a short time later.

A second man identified as being involved in the shooting – 29 year old Jeremy Oliver – also was wounded and drove himself to the hospital.

Investigators interviewed multiple witnesses and determined that Thomas and Oliver were involved in the shooting with each other, following an altercation which had stemmed from a disagreement over money.

Oliver was later released from the hospital – and was subsequently charged with murder in the death of Thomas.
