Atmore Police Make Arrest In Double Shooting That Claimed Teen
June 25, 2025
A 22-year-old Evergreen man has been charged with murder and attempted murder for an early Tuesday morning shooting in Atmore.
Tyler Hall is being held without bond in the Escambia County (AL) Detention Center, and Atmore Police Sgt. Darrell McMinn said additional arrests are forthcoming.
Around 1:50 a.m. Tuesday, the Atmore Police Department responded to Atmore Community Hospital for reported gunshot victims. They discovered 17-year-old Gabriel Elijah Hooks of Atmore had passed away due to his injuries, and a second victim was flown to a trauma center with injuries that appeared to be non-life threatening. Police have not released the name or age of the second victim.
Officers determined the shooting occurred on Carver Avenue near 18th Avenue during a drag race, and they recovered “dozens” of spent shell casings. The investigation is continuing.
Escambia County High School in Atmore is offering counseling services Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

At 1:50 am, I was in bed getting rest for the upcoming work day…
I agree
This breaks my heart
@david, I agree wholeheartedly ❤️❤️
And why are the police letting people drag race on county roads is crazy…. They had the whole road shut down… It happens all the time on carver and 21st ave….. cops do nothing about it
You know, I look at the victim, a very handsome young man, who has been taken away from his family, his friends, and the community. So much potential, gone forever. Then I look at the photo of the young man who took the life of the other, possibly for no other reason than a perceived slight or a personal transgression, that a simple conversation may have resolved. Now there are two lives ruined, one beyond repair, and the other looking at wasted years of incarceration ahead of him. Such a shame. I extend my heartfelt condolences to the family who has lost their son to such a violent act; and I also extend my condolences to the family of the young man that took the life of the other. My prayers are with the both of you.
Good job APD.
