Birmingham police on Monday said four men and two women were shot in Gate City Sunday night – two of them with life-threatening injuries. Bobby Clayton, 20, died and the other remains hospitalized.
The preliminary investigation shows one of the victims is a teen who had a previous altercation with a black male seen driving a red Ford Mustang. Witnesses told police that both men started shooting at each other, and that it appeared the teen started shooting first. The person in the red Mustang recklessly returned fire, striking several people that were in the area including the victim.
“This calculated shooting was between individuals who had no regards for human life and unfortunately their actions resulted in someone losing their life,” he said. “So sad.”
Edwards identified the person of interest as Johnathan Chambers. Edwards Chambers isn’t in custody. “We need to talk to him,” he said.
Gunfire erupted in Birmingham’s Gate City public housing community Sunday night, killing one person and injuring five others.
The shooting happened at 8:15 p.m. in the 6400 block of Georgia Road. Birmingham police spokesman Sgt. Bryan Shelton said all six of the victims were innocent bystanders. The shootings took place about one hour after the close of a peace rally in the community’s Lewis Park.
