The Mobile County Sheriff's Office is investigating the latest homicide in Prichard, which happened over the weekend.

Willie Cook, 46, was found shot in the chest and arm early Saturday. Deputies discovered Cook at Cato Avenue and O'Neil Street, although they believe the shooting occurred at another location.

Sheriff Paul Burch told 1819 News that investigators are now asking the public to come forward with any information or video from the area.

"We are looking for suspect information and we've been given a few nicknames that we're obviously chasing down," Burch said. "There should be some video footage in the area."

Burch said based on the evidence, it appears robbery was a primary motive in the killing.
