Man Accused of Murder for Fatally Shooting Woman at Tuscaloosa Storage Unit Party

Police have charged a Tuscaloosa man with murder after he allegedly shot and killed a woman after an argument at a party at a storage unit here in town.

Captain Jack Kennedy, the commander of the multi-agency Tuscaloosa Violent Crimes Unit, told local media that police were called to a storage unit business in the 3400 block of Greensboro Avenue in Tuscaloosa early Saturday morning, around 5 a.m.

When officers arrived, they found 28-year-old Autumn Monea Mack dead on the scene from a gunshot wound.

Kennedy said officers believe there was a "get-together" or gathering being held at one of the storage unit, and during that party, Mack got into an verbal argument with 28-year-old Shaquan Lavar Knight.

That led to an altercation, and during the fight, Knight allegedly shot and killed Mack.

Kennedy said the VCU's conclusion came after interviewing multiple witnesses, processing the scene for physical evidence and executing multiple search warrants.

Police obtained an arrest warrant for Shaquan Lavar Knight and the US Marshals Task Force found the suspect later on Saturday.

Kennedy said Knight is charged with murder and being held in the Tuscaloosa County Jail with no bond.

This is the 7th homicide investigated by the VCU so far this year and the second this weekend. In an unrelated shooting, a man was reportedly killed by his girlfriend's juvenile son on Friday.
