Semmes Double-Homicide Investigation Reported in 2008
An archived 2008 WKRG report said Mobile Police investigated the deaths of a woman and toddler at a Semmes mobile-home park and charged a man with two counts of murder.
Mobile Police investigated the deaths of a 29-year-old woman and her 2-year-old child at a mobile-home park in Semmes in 2008, according to an archived local news report.
Officers responded shortly after midnight to Alexis Place Mobile Home Park near Schillinger Road North and Moffett Road, the crossroads area that anchors Semmes. The report said a 29-year-old man later approached a patrol officer at a nearby gas station and surrendered, presenting investigators with an immediate suspect in the deaths of his wife and child.
Investigators alleged that the man used a handgun to kill his wife and child. He was charged at the time with two counts of murder, and investigators said they had not determined a motive. This article intentionally avoids graphic detail. It records the investigation and charges reported in 2008 and does not state any later court outcome.
Semmes was unincorporated at the time and became a city in 2011.
