On the evening of March 28, 2016, in McCalla, Alabama, 39-year-old Robert Lee Arwood III lost his life in a fatal shooting. The incident prompted an investigation by the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, which would soon lead to an arrest.
Deputies were called to the scene near the intersection of Interstate 20/59, where they found Arwood suffering from a gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead shortly after.
As investigators began to piece together the events of that night, their focus turned to a single suspect.
Within a day of the shooting, authorities announced that a suspect had been taken into custody. The individual arrested was identified as 35-year-old Adam Michael Barringer. He was subsequently charged with murder in connection with Robert Arwood III's death.
Further details surrounding the motive for the shooting or the relationship between Arwood and Barringer were not immediately made public as the case proceeded through the legal system. The arrest, however, marked a swift development in the investigation into the violent death of Robert Arwood III.
