The Clay County Sheriff’s Office reports deputies were called to Blake’s Ferry Apartments in Lineville about 11:30 p.m. Saturday where Randell Ladarious Brown was shot. He was transported to a local hospital and later died.

Lineville Police notified the Sheriff’s Office that a homicide had occurred at the apartment complex, and that’s when the CCSO took lead in the investigation.

The person arrested was 19-year-old Julius Dontavious Odem. Clay County officials said Odem, a resident of Ashland, turned himself in to Sylacauga PD.

Odem, who is being charged with murder, had his 72-hour hearing Monday morning.
