BIRMINGHAM — Adamsville Police requested the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office to respond to an apartment in the 2800 block of Pebble Creek Parkway in Forestdale just before 6 p.m. Tuesday. The request was in an attempt to locate a 26-year-old woman who was reported abducted in their jurisdiction earlier today.
Deputies arrived and located the woman in the parking lot. At that time, they also located an adult male in the apartment dead on the scene with an apparent gunshot wound.
Deputies say the person found dead was identified by the woman as her abductor that forced her to the apartment and sexually assaulted her. According to the sheriff’s office, at some point, the female gained possession of a gun and shot the alleged abductor.
The investigation is in the early stages and more information will be provided at its conclusion.
