An Alabama Police Officer has died following an off-duty shooting.

Sylacauga Police on Monday identified the victim as 40-year-old Jeremy Dewayne Wilson; he was an officer with the Ohatchee Police Department and he formerly served as a Talladega County Sheriff’s Office Deputy.  Sylacauga Lt. Willis Whatley said officers responded March 6th – to 1599 Commerce Drive, on a report of a person being shot – and they arrived to find Wilson with a gunshot wound to the upper body.

Officers spoke with other people inside the residence, and it was quickly determined that the shooting incident was the result of what was termed a domestic violence altercation between members of the home.  Wilson was taken by ambulance to Coosa Valley Medical Center Hospital, where he was pronounced dead a short time later.
