Posted by Rob Holbert | Oct 19, 2013 | News | 0 |

Mobile Police say they are investigating an apparent murder that took place in Midtown early Saturday morning.

According to a press release from Sgt. Chris Levy, Cloyd Weaver, 42, died at the University of South Alabama Medical Center of gunshot wounds sustained around 1:20 a.m. Saturday.

Levy said officers responded to a report of shots being fired in the 300 block of Morgan Avenue near the Loop area of Airport Boulevard, within blocks of MPD headquarters.

No information was offered as to the circumstances of the shooting, and it is not known if Weaver was inside a residence or outdoors when he was shot. Levy said homicide detectives are investigating the murder and ask that anyone with information about the incident call MPD at 208-7211.
