MOBILE, Ala. (WKRG) — Jury selection has begun in the trial of a man accused of shooting a Mobile Police Department officer in 2018.

Dejoune Devon Dubose was arrested after he allegedly shot Cpl. Ben Towarnyckyj in November 2018, according to previous reporting.

Towarnyckyj attempted to pull over a vehicle that had been reported stolen when Dubose allegedly fired shots at him, according to past reports.

That’s when Towarnyckyj shot back, which led to the suspect driving away and crashing farther down the road, according to officials.

Dubose then allegedly ran from the scene.

Dubose was arrested at the intersection of Girby Road and Lloyds Lane later that night.

He was charged with attempted murder and receiving stolen property.
