HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – Huntsville police said they were searching Thursday afternoon for a man accused of shooting a woman at an apartment complex off Zierdt Road.

Police said Cornett Demetric Evans, 46, is wanted for murder.

The shooting happened around 11:40 a.m. at Sunlake at Edgewater on Lakefront Drive. Police and emergency responders could be seen in front of one of the buildings, which was blocked off with crime scene tape.

Huntsville Police Department spokesman Lt. Michael Johnson said the shooting happened in the parking lot in front of one of the buildings. The victim was taken to Huntsville Hospital with life-threatening injuries. Around 4:15 p.m. police said the woman had died, and homicide investigators had gotten a warrant for murder.
