Apr. 13--Two Auburn, Ala., men were arrested Wednesday and charged with capital murder in the shooting death of a 72-year-old man, Auburn Police Capt. Tom Stouffer said. Henry P. Reese, of 743 Stubb Ave., was pronounced dead at his home at 10:50 p.m. CDT Tuesday by Lee County Deputy Coroner John Sawyer, police reported. Auburn police officers arrived at Reese's residence about 20 minutes earlier, responding to a report of gunshots fired in the area. Reese was unresponsive when the officers arrived. Marcus Walker, 24, and Anthony M. Roberts, 23, were arrested early Wednesday and are being held without bond in the Lee County Jail. Capital murder is a charge punishable by the death penalty or life without parole. Stouffer said Reese had suffered at least one gunshot wound, but would release no further details concerning the wounds, where Reese's body was found or any motive that might have led to the shooting. Police have recovered the weapon, but Stouffer said they are not disclosing the type of gun used. "No further details can be released at this time, because this is a very fluid and ongoing investigation," Stouffer said. Lee County Coroner Bill Harris said Reese's body has been sent to the Alabama State Crime Laboratory in Montgomery for an autopsy.
