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.

Shortly after Angela Fleming was found dead by the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, Fleming’s son, John Brian Fleming, "admitted to shooting his mother," according to Mike Lambert, chief deputy sheriff.

Lambert said that he and Escambia County Sheriff Grover Smith responded to a call about 9 p.m. Thursday night from a man who reported that John Fleming had "just told him that he’d killed his mother."

Lambert said that he and Smith went to Angela Susanne Fleming’s house at 805 McGowin Hill Road, in the Damascus community just outside Brewton.

"Upon arrival," said Lambert, "we found the body" of the victim.

Lambert said that Angela Fleming, 46, "had been shot with a high-powered rifle."

John Fleming, said Lambert, "had returned to the scene of the crime. We believe he was trying to dispose of the body and flee."

The law officers, said Lambert, were able to take Fleming "into custody. He did not resist."

"He admitted to shooting his mother as soon as we grabbed him," said Lambert.

According to Lambert, Fleming said, "That’s my mother, and I shot her and killed her."

Lambert said that Fleming, who is in his early 20s, is charged with an open count of murder.

"We’re investigating to see if we can charge him with capital murder," Lambert said.

Lambert said that "the case is still under investigation."

He said Lambert remained in custody "awaiting a bond setting."

Anyone with further information on the case should contact the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office at 251-809-0741

Baldwin man pleads guilty to manslaughter in street sign death of driver

Published: Thursday, November 18, 2010, 7:35 PM ??? Updated: Thursday, November 18, 2010, 8:41 PM

BAY MINETTE, Alabama -- Jonathan Lee Hadley entered a blind plea today to a charge of manslaughter after the Baldwin County District Attorney's Office agreed to reduce the original charge of murder, according to Hadley's attorney, Pascal Bruijn.

Hadley, 20, was arrested in September 2009 after allegedly throwing a street sign through the windshield of a moving car that killed the 22-year-old driver, Jose Juan Galiana.

According to police at the time, Galiana was driving a 1999 Mustang on Baldwin County 55, near Magnolia Springs, when a green street marker for “Trident Gum Lane” smashed through his windshield and struck his head. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 13 before Presiding Circuit Judge James H. Reid, according to Bruijn. Manslaughter is a Class B felony punishable by a sentence of 2 to 20 years.

Hadley of Foley remains at the Baldwin County Corrections Center on $150,000 bail under charges of murder, second-degree assault and traffic violations, records show.

Hadley's father, Albert Dewey Hadley of Foley was also arrested after the incident occurred, according to previous news reports, when he called 911 to report a car wreck but failed to mention his son's possible role in the incident. Albert Hadley was charged with filing a false report and hindering prosecution and was released on $3,500 bail shortly after his arrest.
