ALEXANDER CITY, Ala. (AP) - Police searched Wednesday for a man who was wanted after a woman and her son were shot to death in Alexander City, authorities said.

The killings happened Monday night, when law officers responding to a reported disturbance discovered two people killed by gunshots inside a home, news outlets reported. The victims were identified as 40-year-old Stephanie Nicole Motes and her 18-year-old son, Cody Lane Motes.

Authorities said they issued arrest warrants for Ashley Paul Kenney, 24, after witnesses told police he fled the scene in a purple Chevy Geo Tracker. The vehicle was found at a trailer park in Kellyton about 10 miles outside Alexander City, police said, but the man had yet to be located.
