A man has been arrested after a fatal shooting in Chilton County.

The Chilton County Sheriff’s Office says Evan Romano is charged with murder in the death of Kirby Jones of Maplesville.

Investigators say on Tuesday, August 5, deputies were called to a home on County Road 324 after getting an E-9111 call about a shooting. That’s where they found Jones, who had at least one gunshot wound to the chest.

He was taken to a hospital where he died.

Investigators say it appears Jones was visiting a friend when an altercation broke out between him and a neighboring resident. That’s when they say Jones was shot.

Romano is being held at the Chilton County Jail.
