Pine Mountain Man Shot, In Critical Condition After Road Rage Incident

A Pine Mountain man is in critical but stable condition at East Alabama Medical Center in Opelika following an apparent road rage shooting incident last week that left another man dead.

Lee County, Alabama Sheriff Jay Jones said the incident took place October 13 on Lee Road 379 in the northeastern part of the county. A woman had called 911 to report two cars stopped in the roadway and hearing the sound of gunfire.

On arrival, Deputies found two men lying on the ground suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. One of the men, identified as Corey Michael Moore, 39, of Beulah, Alabama, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The other man, identified as a 29-year-old Pine Mountain man whose name was not released, was transported to East Alabama Medical Center. Jones said the man underwent surgery and is listed in critical but stable condition.

Jones said Deputies found two firearms on the ground, one within reach of either man. Their cars were parked very close together in the roadway. The sheriff said the incident appears to be a road rage shooting.

“We have located some individuals to do have some knowledge of what has occurred, and we are in the process of interviewing them now,” Jones said.

The incident remains under investigation and no further information was available at press deadline.
