BIRMINGHAM, AL (WBRC) - Authorities have captured the person they believe fired that shots that injured two people and led to the deadly officer-involved shooting of Emantic Bradford Jr in the Riverchase Galleria on Thanksgiving night.

Erron Brown, 20, was arrested in South Fulton County at a relative’s home, according to sources. He’s been charged with the attempted murder of 18-year-old Brian Xavier Wilson.

Hoover police say investigators believe that more than two individuals were involved in the initial altercation, including 21-year-old Bradford.

However, new evidence indicates that Bradford Jr. did not fire the shots that injured two people as originally indicated.

Agents from ALEA’s State Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Marshal Service and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation arrested Brown around 9 a.m.

Brown will be extradited from Georgia and booked into the Jefferson County with a $150,000 bond.

Additional charges are expected.
