DOTHAN, Ala. (AP) - Dale County Sheriff Wally Olson says investigators expect to file at least one capital murder charge in the home invasion slaying of a 43-year-old Level Plains man.

Olson says detectives have two men in custody in the shooting death that happened during a robbery Sunday night at the residence of the victim, Marcus Blackmon.

Dale County Coroner Woody Hilboldt says Blackmon appears to have died from a gunshot wound to the chest.

Olson says detectives took a man they believed was the shooter into custody Monday morning. He says they later took another man into custody, and are still looking for a third man.
