Nathan Lee Loot, 46, was found dead inside his home on Wolf Creek Road South in Pell City, Alabama, the victim of multiple gunshot wounds. The St. Clair County Sheriff’s Office opened an immediate investigation after his discovery, describing the matter as active and ongoing.

Investigators connected Loot’s death to the death of 45-year-old Brandi Ann Colton, a woman reported to have been in a relationship with Loot. Colton was located deceased behind a Sherwin Williams in Moody; authorities determined her injuries were self-inflicted. As of the latest report, no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced in Loot’s killing.
