Police say the man wanted for the March 5th murder of an Atmore teenager has shot himself in a Bay Minette trailer park. Baldwin County Sheriff's Office spokesman Major Anthony Lowery says Ferrell Perdue was located this morning at the Dobbins Trailer Park in Pine Grove near Bay Minette. Lowery says Perdue shot himself and was transported to North Baldwin Infirmary.

Atmore police say Ferrel forced his way into the apartment of his ex-girlfriend Alice Evans last week. Police say he threw a bicycle through the apartment window, then went inside and began shooting. Evans' 19-year-old daughter Marquetta Washington was killed. 26-year-old Tony Hudson was seriously injured. Police says Washington was pregnant.

I didnt say shoot them, I said let them choose Jail (by process of court) or suicide…. I would rather some of the guilty ones choose the later because it would save us taxpayers

Good one more POS we wont have to feed with our tax money. I say give all of them a gun with one bullet, and let them choose jail or death. makes it easier on the taxpayer.
