UPDATE: Walker County Sheriff Steve Wilson said deputies arrested Robert Eric Ownbey this afternoon. He said they received a tip that he used to live off East Sherry Drive, around the block from where the shooting occurred Tuesday.
At the house, Wilson said, deputies saw a trail of blood. After about 5 minutes, he turned himself in without incident. Wilson said Ownbey has a gunshot wound to his leg, and paramedics are on scene to treat him.
Wilson said he is not sure who the passenger was with Ownbey on Tuesday. He also is not sure whether the department will charge the owner of the vehicle Ownbey was driving.
