The Atmore Police Department is looking for information on a homicide investigation involving a Thursday night shooting on Ann Street.

Chief Chuck Brooks said at approximately 10:38 p.m., the APD received a 911 call in response to a person being shot on Ann Street.

“Atmore police responded to the location and found Shawn Oneil Quarles, of Camden, with a gunshot wound to the chest,” Brooks said in a release. “The first Atmore police officer on scene immediately began aid to Quarles.”

Brooks said Atmore Ambulance was called to the scene, and transported Quarles to Atmore Community Hospital, where he was later pronounced deceased.

Brooks said according to witnesses, Quarles was found lying on Ann Street after they heard several gunshots in the area.

APD investigators were told by witnesses that Quarles was riding a bicycle to the store to purchase cigarettes when the offense occurred, Brooks said.

Brooks said Friday afternoon that there is no additional information available in relation to the investigation.

The APD is working the case as a homicide and those with information are encouraged to call 251-368-9141.
