Tarabien Cobb,
33, was taken into custody with the assistance of officers from
the U.S. Marshal Service after the shooting at about 2 a.m. in
Auburn, a university town about 110 miles southeast of
Birmingham, police said in a statement. Authorities provided no
further details about the suspect.
Multiple shooters were still exchanging gunfire when police
arrived at Mr. D's Lodge on the outskirts of Auburn. Once police
secured the scene, they discovered three dead men: Roderick
Nelms, 32; Jadarrion Spinks, 25; and Recco Cobb, 43. A fourth
victim, a 23-year-old man who police did not identify, was taken
to a hospital in a personal car before officers arrived at the
site of the shooting.
Police said the incident started as an altercation inside the
dance hall before spilling into the parking lot and erupting in
gunfire. Further details on the incident were not immediately
available.
