Selma Police Office Marquis Moorer was killed by a gunman while on duty. According to Dallas County District Attorney Michael Jackson, Moorer was approached outside his apartment in the Selma Square Apartments and ambushed. A suspect is in custody and has been charged in the murder.

Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall mourned the tragic loss:

“Once again, one of Alabama’s law enforcement heroes has been tragically struck down,” Marshall said in a statement. “Early this morning, Officer Marquis Moorer was on duty with the Selma Police Department and had stopped by his home for a lunch break when shots were fired from outside. Officer Moorer was killed, and another person inside the residence at Selma Square Apartments was injured and has been hospitalized.”

“Every day, officers routinely risk their lives simply by putting on their uniforms and performing their duties to protect their fellow citizens,” Marshall said. “We must honor them and never take for granted the sacrifices they make on our behalf. I ask you to join me in prayerful gratitude for Officer Moorer as we hold his loved ones in our hearts.”

Marshall concluded: “Please pray for his family, friends, and fellow officers.”

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey said on Twitter: “I extend my prayers for the family of Officer Marquis Moorer. A memo to lower the flag will be distributed to honor this hero as soon as his funeral is announced.”
