A 28-year-old man was found shot to death on an industrial road in the south end of Hollinger’s Island late Saturday night, according to Mobile police.
Spokesman Officer Christopher Levy identified the victim as Sary Kinn. His death was the first homicide of the year for Mobile police and marked the third day in a row that they were called to handle a fatal shooting.
Levy said police got the call shortly after ?10:50 p.m. Saturday for a man down in the 7700 block of Deer River Road East. Responding officers found Kinn lying partly on the pavement with multiple gunshot wounds, he said.
Kinn was pronounced dead on the scene.
No arrests had been made as of Sunday evening.
The spot where Kinn was discovered is on a curve about 200 yards east of the fork where Deer River Road East breaks off Deer River Road and eventually leads to the Millard Refrigerated Services plant on the north bank of the Theodore Industrial Canal.
About 100 yards east of the crime scene, a spur railroad line for CSX Transportation crosses the road.
The scene was marked with orange paint tracing the victim’s body, and a significant bloodstain was still visible on the pavement Sunday evening.
A handful of residences, including a home-based bait shop, are along Deer River Road.
Levy said it was too early in the investigation to determine if Kinn was shot to death at the scene or was shot elsewhere and left where he was found.
As of Sunday, no one had been arrested in the cases that occurred Thursday and Friday.
Ramon Tinson, 23, was killed in a car early Friday morning at Government Street and Dauphin Island Parkway in what police believe was a drive-by shooting.
On Thursday, 24-year-old Michael Watkins was found fatally shot by a car in a field near Abrams Street, Levy said. A second man was shot during that incident, and a third was recovered uninjured after being locked in the trunk of the car.
Levy said anyone with information about any of these cases is asked to call police at 251-208-7211, CrimeStoppers at 251-208-7000 or text to 274637 and include the keyword CRIME 411.
