Huntsville, Alabama
A man has been arrested and charged with first-degree assault following a shooting incident that took place on Wednesday evening in Huntsville. The suspect, identified as 26-year-old Zephaniah Marquez Gosa, was involved in a confrontation with the victim on Jeff Road just before 9 p.m. During this altercation, Gosa allegedly brandished a firearm and shot the victim.
The victim was promptly transported to a local hospital where he is currently receiving treatment and is expected to recover from his injuries. Following his arrest, Gosa is being held at the Madison County Jail.
In a separate shooting incident, 36-year-old Jarvis Trymane Jamison was taken into custody in connection with another shooting that occurred in Huntsville. This particular incident took place on Poplar Avenue at around midnight on Monday, more specifically at 708 Poplar Avenue.
Upon police arrival at the scene at approximately 12:13 a.m., they discovered four individuals with gunshot wounds. All victims were transported to the hospital with injuries that were deemed to be non-life-threatening. Officers encountered a considerable crowd at the scene as they began their investigation into the shooting.
Witness accounts proved critical in assisting the police with their inquiries, which led them to locate Jamison at an apartment complex near Sparkman Drive. During his arrest, Jamison displayed aggressive behavior towards officers and was combative, necessitating the deployment of a canine unit to facilitate his apprehension.
While at the hospital for treatment related to a dog bite sustained during his arrest, Jamison further escalated the situation by spitting on an officer. He now faces several charges, including four counts of aggravated assault, as well as assault with bodily fluid, harassment, and resisting arrest, and he too has been taken to the Madison County Jail.
