The first reports that came in were related to a medical emergency on Interstate 20/59 East near Fosters in Tuscaloosa County, around mile marker 61, which Allen later called a fatality.

That discovery has led to the closure of all eastbound lanes of the interstate Sunday morning.

Shortly after word of that situation started coming in, a body was allegedly found on Frog Ridge Road off of Gainsville Road, also in the Fosters community.

Allen said the Frog Ridge Road fatality may have been the victim of a fatal shooting, but police have not yet confirmed that information.

A police spokesperson told the Thread Sunday morning that investigators are working both scenes in Fosters, but did not have other details to share as of 8 a.m. Police said at 8:30 it is unknown if the deaths are related or if either was a homicide.
