An investigation is underway after a fatal shooting Tuesday afternoon in the Center Point area.

The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office and Center Point Fire responded about 1:45 p.m. to Corey’s Barber Shop on 20th Court N.W. just off Center Point Parkway. Once on the scene, they found a black male unresponsive just outside the door to the shop. The victim was pronounced dead on the scene.

The location is in in a highly-populated commercial area surrounded by other businesses. Nearby workers reported hearing at least five to six shots fired, and then saw a vehicle speed away from the area.

Authorities have not yet released the identity of the victim. Multiple family members are on the scene, and are highly emotional. Deputies already have had to move back the crime scene tape.

A suspect is not yet in custody and investigators have not identified a motive. Deputy Chief David Agee said a group of males were at the location when an argument erupted and guns were drawn. He said they have promising leads in the case.
