A tragic incident occurred at Twin Peaks on University Drive in Huntsville’s MidCity District late Saturday night, where a 23-year-old man, Rayshun Bates, was killed, and three others were injured in an off-duty officer-involved shooting.

Huntsville Police Chief Kirk Giles reported that the situation began when a fight broke out between two groups at the restaurant.

The altercation escalated, leading to the involvement of an off-duty Huntsville Police Department (HPD) officer, who discharged their weapon during the incident.

The Madison County Coroner, Tyler Berryhill, confirmed on Sunday morning that Bates, who sustained gunshot injuries at the scene, had unfortunately passed away.

An autopsy is scheduled to take place in Huntsville later in the week to provide further details.

While Chief Giles did not provide specific updates on the conditions of the other individuals shot, it was reported that a total of four people were transported to Huntsville Hospital Trauma Services for treatment.

According to HEMSI (Huntsville Emergency Medical Services, Inc.) spokesperson Don Webster, the shooting was reported around 9:50 p.m. and one person remains in critical condition while the others are still undergoing evaluation.

The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) has taken over the investigation and is working to gather evidence and understand the sequence of events that led to this tragic outcome. Further updates are expected as ALEA proceeds with its investigation.
