The Gulf Shores Police Department has identified the suspect in last night’s shooting that left one person injured near but outside of The Hangout.

Police arrested 21-year-old Rafiq Sh’mare Joel Bradley of Fairhope. He is being charged with attempted murder, shooting into an occupied dwelling, disorderly conduct and reckless endangerment.

The victim was released from the hospital early this morning after being treated for his injuries, according to a news release from the police department. Two additional adults and one juvenile have been charged with disorderly conduct stemming from the altercation that occurred just before 9 p.m.

Detectives are investigating this incident, and additional charges may come later. All subjects involved are believed to be residents of Baldwin County.

“The Gulf Shores Police Department would like to extend our thanks to the Baldwin County Sherriff’s Office, the Orange Beach Police Department, the Gulf State Park Law Enforcement, the Foley Police Department and the Daphne Police Department for their assistance with this incident,” a social media post from the police department said Tuesday afternoon.

The Gulf Shores Police Department is asking anyone who was a witness or captured footage of the incident to contact the office at (251) 968-2431.
