An 18-year-old man was killed in a Birmingham park on November 9, 2025. Myca Clark Jr., a Black male, was struck by gunfire during an afternoon confrontation between two groups at Ensley Park, 2609 Avenue K. He and another male were shot; Clark was taken to UAB Hospital and pronounced dead. The second victim survived with injuries.

The Birmingham Police Department says a community tip helped lead detectives to a nearby house where a suspect was detained. A 16-year-old male has been arrested and charged with capital murder in connection with Clark’s death and is being held without bond in the Jefferson County Jail as the case proceeds.

Anyone who was at Ensley Park that afternoon or who has information about the shooting is asked to come forward and share what they know.
