Police say the man wanted for the March 5th murder of an Atmore teenager has shot himself in a Bay Minette trailer park. Baldwin County Sheriff's Office spokesman Major Anthony Lowery says Ferrell Perdue was located this morning at the Dobbins Trailer Park in Pine Grove near Bay Minette. Lowery says Perdue shot himself and was transported to North Baldwin Infirmary.

Atmore police say Ferrel forced his way into the apartment of his ex-girlfriend Alice Evans last week. Police say he threw a bicycle through the apartment window, then went inside and began shooting. Evans' 19-year-old daughter Marquetta Washington was killed. 26-year-old Tony Hudson was seriously injured. Police says Washington was pregnant.
