Police on Monday gave more details into the Friday shooting death of a Huntsville woman and said that the suspect, captured Sunday in Tennessee, will be charged with capital murder.
Warren Hardy, 27, is in custody in Marion County in Tennessee awaiting extradition to Huntsville. During an interview with Huntsville police investigators on Sunday, Hardy confessed to the crime spree, police said.
According to police, the shooting death of Kathleen Lundy, 72, occurred as Hardy stole her car to pursue his ex-girlfriend.
When Hardy was confronted by police in Tennessee, he pulled a handgun. But the magazine in the gun apparently fell out in the car and the gun was not loaded.
Here is the account provided by Huntsville police:
"The shooting happened after a series of events that started on Bailey Cove Road (in southeast Huntsville). Hardy kidnapped his ex-girlfriend's daughter and stepfather from her Bailey Cove Road apartment and forced them to drive to a home on Morland Pointe in an effort to locate the ex-girlfriend. Once at the Morland Pointe home, Hardy forced the ex-girlfriend into the car at gunpoint, but before Hardy could get back in the car, the stepfather was able to drive away.
"Hardy began walking down the street where he encountered 72-year-old Kathleen Lundy, who was exiting the front door of her residence. Hardy demanded her car keys and shot her before driving away in her car. Hardy was able to catch up to the car carrying his ex-girlfriend as well as her daughter and step-father. He fired multiple shots into the vehicle before they were able to get away uninjured.
"Later that evening Mrs. Lundy's vehicle was found abandoned in an area close to the ex-girlfriend's apartment. It is believed that (Hardy) got back into his own vehicle and fled the area. Investigators knew that the ex-girlfriend had family members in the area of Jasper, Tennessee, and alerted local law enforcement in that area. A neighbor of the family member in Tennessee spotted Hardy and police. After a short vehicle pursuit Hardy was taken into custody. Huntsville Police investigators traveled to the Marion County, Tennessee jail on Sunday afternoon and interviewed Hardy who confessed to his involvement in the crime spree."
