Suspect jailed in Phenix City murder of hospital supervisor
Nearly 5 days after the murder of a Jack Hughston Memorial Hospital supervisor, a suspect has been arrested.
The investigation began when 39-year-old Edward Pettway left work on Friday, May 13th a and went to nearby Piggly Wiggly, on 13th Street in downtown Phenix City, where he reportedly met with 24-year-old D’Antonio Gibson. Sources say, during the meeting, Gibson allegedly tried to rob Pettway which led to Gibson shooting Pettway multiple times. Pettway drove all the way back to work, Jack Hughston Memorial Hospital, where he was interviewed by officers before he was pronounced deceased by a physician.
Gibson is charged with two counts of capital murder. If you know anything, contact Lt. Rob Isabel at (334) 448-2825 or Inv. James Belin (334) 448-2819.
