An Atmore man was charged with shooting his brother during a dispute over money Thursday night.
Aquarius Dejan Taylor, 21, was charged with first degree assault following the incident about 9:30 p.m. at the Atmore Garden Apartments on East Laurel Street.
According to Atmore Police Chief Chuck Brooks, Taylor allegedly shot his brother, identified as 24-year old Ladarus Quamane Smith of Brewton, once with handgun.

Hate Crime ?????? What happened to Brotherly Love ?? Not Taught no more ?????
Right across the street from the nursing home. Isn’t that nice.
I’ll reserve judgment, because there are some pretty crappy siblings in the world. We only know a tiny fragment of what happened and none what led to this man feeling like he had to go to this extreme.
I dont think this is the definition of Brotherly Love.
When they will shoot their own brother you know the average citizen is not safe being out and about. Hopefully the Alabama Judges tougher on crime than Florida Judges, otherwise he will be out on bond before his brother is out of the hospital.
