The sheriff’s office in DeKalb County, Ala., is asking the public’s help to find a blue 2008 Dodge Caliber in connection with a home invasion in the Kilpatrick community that ended with a death.

Sheriff Jimmy Harris hasn’t released any information on the crime, but said investigators are looking for the Caliber. The tag number is 5116AD5.

The incident was reported Thursday about 9:40 a.m. CST on County Road 997.

Investigators began interviewing witnesses and following up on leads, Harris said.

Harris thanked his officers, Fort Payne, Geraldine and Crossville police, Marshall County authorities, and the DeKalb County District Attorneys Office “for their hard work they have already put into this case and the work they will do to close this case,” he said in the statement.

Anyone who sees the car or has information is asked to call 256-845-3801.
