An arrest has been made in regard to the shooting that
occurred on June 30, 2024, here in West Point.
David Landrell McCoy, 19, of Valley, Alabama has been
arrested and charged with aggravated assault (O.C.G.A. 16-5-21) after further
investigation from our criminal investigations division. During the
investigation, it was determined that the vehicle used in the shooting incident
was a red Chevrolet Cruze which was registered to the residential address of
McCoy. A universal alert was provided to surrounding agencies which led to the
vehicle being stopped by a neighboring agency with McCoy driving the vehicle
also. The vehicle had a bullet hole in the driver’s side mirror, which was
consistent with evidence that was collected at the initial crime scene. McCoy
also had a glock 26 handgun in his possession at the time of his arrest which
was collected by officers as evidence. McCoy was transported to Troup County
Sheriff’s Office without incident.
