In the early morning hours of October 5, 2017, 37-year-old Charles Hunt of Huntsville, Alabama, was fatally shot in the 100 block of Oldwood Road. Deputies from the Madison County Sheriff’s Office found Hunt dead from multiple gunshot wounds around 4:30 a.m. Eyewitnesses at the scene identified 57-year-old Mark Fecteau as the shooter, prompting a law enforcement search that included a SWAT response.

That search led officers to a home on Brena Lane in Hazel Green. As deputies attempted to make contact with Fecteau, he took his own life. The Sheriff’s Office later confirmed there was no further threat to the public. Family and friends remembered Hunt, born November 28, 1979, as an amazing father who was always willing to help others.
