Detectives investigate homicide at Azalea Point Apts.

MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) - On Monday, September 3, 2012 around 12:30 p.m., Mobile police said they responded to Azalea Road for a report of 'one down.'

Upon arrival, officers said they found 23- year-old Cynthia McCoy suffering from an apparent gunshot wound.

“She's a good friend. She was a sweet person,” said Arilyn Quincy, who lives in the complex. “She was a real friend.”
