MOODY — A Moody man is in custody today after a shooting occurred Wednesday night.
Moody police on Thursday confirmed they arrested 39-year-old Jeffrey Morris Hamby, of Scott Drive in Moody, Wednesday at around 8:30 p.m. Hamby is charged with the murder of 41-year-old Karen Nicole McNair, his girlfriend, after what is believed to be a domestic dispute.

According to the police report, officers responded to the area when a neighbor called to report the shooting. Upon entering the residence, they found McNair and placed Hamby under arrest. The report notes that Hamby was armed with a handgun.
Hamby is currently in custody at the St. Clair County jail in Pell City. Russell said McNair’s body was taken to the Alabama Department of Forensic Science in Huntsville, for an autopsy.
