HOOVER, Alabama – Hoover police are investigating a fatal shooting at the Renaissance Ross Bridge Golf Resort & Spa this morning.

Police received a 911 call from the hotel at 5:19 a.m. after an employee found another employee dead from at least one gunshot in a corridor between the kitchen and a loading dock, Hoover police Capt. Gregg Rector said.

The man, whose identity is not yet available, was an employee of a janitorial service that cleans the kitchens and restrooms at the hotel, Rector said. He likely came to work at the hotel between 10 and 11 p.m. Monday night, Rector said.

Based on evidence at the scene, police do not suspect robbery as a motive, he said. "Indications would be that the victim likely knew the shooter," he said.

Police interviewed other employees at the hotel and released them. An autopsy is expected to be conducted today, Rector said.
