BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) – A Birmingham police detective was arrested early Saturday on suspicion of shooting and killing a woman in a slaying the police chief described as a “love triangle gone wrong.”
Police took Alfreda Fluker, 39, into custody at her home in west Birmingham, AL.com reported.
Officers responding Friday night to an alert by the city’s gunfire detection system found Kanisha Necole Fuller, 43, shot multiple times inside an unmarked police car in a city park. Fuller was later pronounced dead at a hospital, police said.
Fuller was in the vehicle with an off-duty Birmingham police detective, police said. The male detective was not injured.
“This is not a press conference that I wanted to give today or any other day, but it’s about the facts and the realities of life, Police Chief Patrick Smith said Saturday. “It’s a press conference about a love triangle gone wrong, something that happened very bad this morning.”
