previous employment at a local business. They did not identify the business because they said it did not have a connection to the case.

Investigators noted Crawford and Alvarez-Duenas were no longer friends after a falling out, but said they have uncovered nothing that would explain the killings.

Hiding in an attic

Once Crawford was identified in the homicide investigation, authorities launched a countywide operation involving dozens of officers, multiple search teams, cyber investigators and the U.S. Marshals Service.

Investigators executed search warrants for electronic data and simultaneously checked numerous locations before locating Crawford at an extended family member's apartment in Northport, Alabama.

Crawford barricaded himself inside the apartment, leading to a roughly four-hour tactical operation involving the Northport Police tactical team, U.S. Marshals tactical officers, drones, canines, fire personnel, tear gas and breaching operations.

Apartment where suspect barricaded himself

Investigators eventually discovered Crawford hiding inside interconnected attic crawl spaces above adjoining apartments. Authorities said he never voluntarily surrendered and was only taken into custody after officers physically located him in the attic. No officers or civilians were injured during the arrest.

He was booked into the Tuscaloosa County Jail on the outstanding warrants, and investigators said additional charges are expected as the investigation continues.

Already wanted

During the investigation, detectives discovered Crawford was already wanted on outstanding felony warrants stemming from a June incident near the University of Alabama.

Officials said Crawford had been fired from a contractor's job on campus and allegedly fired several shots from a moving vehicle as he left, striking an occupied building near Coleman Coliseum.

Authorities emphasized Crawford was not a university employee.

Law enforcement had already searched numerous addresses and tracked multiple phones while attempting to arrest him before the Brookwood killings, describing him as actively evading law enforcement for weeks.

Capital murder charges

Authorities obtained a capital murder warrant based on the allegation that Crawford killed more than one person during a single course of conduct.

Investigators said additional charges are expected, including possible additional capital murder counts, animal cruelty for killing the dog and charges related to stealing one victim's vehicle to run from the scene.

Looking for a motive

Authorities stressed they have found no evidence that the victims, the homeowner, Crawford's family or either of his former employers bear any responsibility for the shootings.

They described the attack as unexpected, saying Crawford had little criminal history before the campus shooting and that his escalation into a double homicide surprised even those who knew him. Investigators continue to examine his electronic devices and communications in hopes of determining a motive, but said Crawford has invoked his right not to speak with detectives.

The investigation remains ongoing.
