Another brother, Robert Hood was arrested in September 2004 in connection with a retaliatory shooting two hours after his father was badly beaten the day before, the Banner-Herald said. The elder Hood was beaten during an altercation, which started after he confronted a group of men. Hood was armed with a screwdriver, the Banner-Herald said.
Police have found the silver Chevrolet Prizm that a suspect used to flee after he shot and killed one police officer and wounded another at the entrance of Cascades on the River apartments, authorities said.
The car was found across town, off Winterville Road, around 5:15, but the suspect remained at large. Police warned people should consider the man armed and dangerous and call 911 if anyone saw him.
