DOTHAN, AL. (THECOUNT) — Rodney Caliste has been identified as the victim of a fatal shooting Thursday night in Dothan, Alabama, according to reports.
Caliste, 38, was found suffering from at least one gunshot wound in the driveway area of a home on Woodham Road, in Dothan on Thursday night.
The Thursday night shooting became Dothan’s second murder victim within a few hours and the third person to be shot in one day, reports WTYV.
When officers arrived at a home on Woodham Road they discovered the body of 38-year old Rodney Caliste on or near the driveway.
“There was a handgun found at the scene but it has yet to be determined if that is the murder weapon,” Sgt. Ronald Hall said.
Sources say Caliste died from a gunshot wound to the head, shot at close range.
Police took the man who reported that shooting to the police department for the purpose of obtaining a statement. Police have not said that man is a suspect.
About eight hours before Caliste was murdered, another Dothan man, 25-year old Bernard Bryant, died in another shooting.
In yet another incident, an Indiana man suffered critical injuries early Thursday from a gunshot wound.
Police believe that crime is drug related.
