Tuscaloosa, Ala. – A 41-year-old man has been charged with capital murder following a fatal shooting that claimed the life of a 62-year-old Tuscaloosa resident on Sunday afternoon.
According to the Tuscaloosa Police Department, officers responded to a residence in the 3200 block of 18th Street at approximately 4:00 p.m. on March 9 after receiving reports of a shooting.
Upon arrival, officers discovered Joseph Earl Miller, 62, deceased inside his home from apparent gunshot wounds.
The Tuscaloosa Violent Crimes Unit took over the investigation and, after conducting interviews with family members, identified Andrew Wayne Hollie, 41, as the primary suspect.
