ROBERTSDALE, Alabama — A Baldwin County Sheriff’s Deputy is on administrative leave following a shooting at the scene of a traffic accident on Interstate 10 near the Alabama-Florida border on Friday.

According to a BCSO release, Jonathan David Victor, 35, of Metairie, Louisiana, was shot after Sheriff's deputies and Alabama State Troopers were called because he was reportedly fighting with medical responders who were attempting to treat him on scene. The incident occurred at around 5:30 p.m. Friday between the 59- and 60-mile markers east bound on I-10 between the Wilcox exit and the Florida border.

Victor was flown to USA Medical Center in Mobile where he underwent surgery, but he succumbed to his injuries at around 1 a.m. Saturday morning.

The officer, who has yet to be identified, has been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation by the Baldwin County Major Crimes Unit.

A press conference could be scheduled as early as Monday afternoon to release more details in the case.
