Saturday, March 22, at approximately 12:48 a.m., the Auburn Police Division responded to a shots-fired call at a residence in the 600 block of Spencer Avenue, according to a March 25 APD news release.
Officers discovered a 25-year-old female at the residence suffering from a single gunshot wound.
Approximately a half hour later, police were notified of a second victim, a 21-year-old male, who had been taken to the East Alabama Medical Center emergency room for treatment.
The female was treated and released, and the male remains at EAMC with non-life threatening injuries.
Detectives determined both cases were related. During the course of the investigation, Jaquavious "Rell" Strickland, 21, of Opelika, developed as a suspect. Detectives obtained a felony arrest warrant on Strickland, charging him with alleged shooting into an occupied dwelling.
Tuesday, March 25, at approximately 10:30 a.m., Strickland turned himself in to detectives.
Strickland was transported to the Lee County Jail where his bond was set at $50,000.
