One teenager died and another was injured in an incident in Tuskegee

A 16-year-old juvenile has died and Kandarius Green, 19, of Tuskegee, was injured following an incident in Tuskegee. Both were taken to East Alabama Medical Center in Opelika and arrived with injuries, ALEA said. The 16-year-old was airlifted to another area hospital and pronounced dead, authorities said. ALEA declined to provide additional information about the nature of the injuries.

At approximately 5:56 a.m. Sunday, ALEA's State Bureau of Investigation was asked by the Tuskegee Police Department to assist with a death investigation. According to authorities, the incident occurred near the 200 block of East Martin Luther King Highway in Tuskegee.

ALEA and TPD are working to determine if this incident and a fatal traffic accident Sunday afternoon are related.

On Sunday at approximately 1:35 p.m., troopers with ALEA's Highway Patrol Division responded to a single-vehicle crash in Macon County. During the course of the investigation, officers found the driver, William E. Howard Jr., 32, of Tuskegee, fatally injured, authorities said.

According to ALEA, Howard was found ejected from the 2005 Honda Accord, which left the road and overturned. ALEA said Howard was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash and was pronounced dead at the scene.

The accident occurred on US 29 near the 177 mile mark, about five miles south of Tuskegee in Macon County.

ALEA special agents, Highway Patrol Division troopers and TPD officers are currently investigating both incidents.

ALEA provided no further information and said the investigation is ongoing. Once the investigation is complete, the results will be forwarded to the Macon County District Attorney's Office.
