On September 10, J.D. Sparkman responded to 226 Smith Dr. in Piedmont, where he found Timothy Joel Ramsey, a 25 year old white male, with a gunshot wound to the head. Ramsey subsequently died from his wound. ACSO spokesman Chad McBride said that the drive-by shooting appears to have targeted Ramsey specifically, since several shots were fired and struck the residence. “We are pursuing this as a homicide investigation, but at this time, we have not identified a suspect,” said McBride.
