FAIRHOPE Ala.

The Fairhope Police Department is currently investigating the death of an individual found outside a home on Prospect Avenue at 8:30 a.m. Friday morning.

Initial evidence suggests a self-inflicted gunshot wound, but a thorough investigation will continue, according to police.

The man had no known connection to the residence where he was discovered, and there appears to be no threat to public safety.

Investigators believe this case may be linked to an altercation that took place in the McDonald’s parking lot on Thursday evening, which resulted in another individual being hospitalized for a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to the upper leg.

Police did not expound on the circumstances of the Thursday evening shooting.

Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
