Law enforcement agencies in north Alabama say they are looking for a man on capital murder charges stemming from two robberies that resulted in deaths this morning in Huntsville and Decatur.
Ricardo S. Bass, 40, of Huntsville, already has a capital murder warrant for his arrest from Decatur, while Huntsville police are seeking a capital murder warrant. Huntsville police said officers were dispatched to the 3600 block of McVay Street around 5:50 a.m. today. Jeffrey Carden, 31, of Huntsville, was discovered dead at the scene from a fatal gunshot wound, police said.
Then, at 6:20 a.m., Decatur police were called to the scene of a robbery at the Wavaho station, 707 Wilson St. N.W. Mark Allen Nicholson died there from gunshot wounds.
Bass is described as a Black male, standing 5 feet 9 inches tall, weighing about 215 lbs., with brown eyes and black hair.
Police say Bass may be armed and should be considered extremely dangerous. If seen, he should not be approached. Anyone with information is asked to contact Det. Joshua Daniell at (256) 341- 4644 or email jdaniell@ decatur-al.gov. To leave an anonymous tip, call (256) 341-4636.
