A funeral in Birmingham, Alabama, intended as a time of mourning turned deadly on December 6, 2025. Forty-three-year-old Sonny Arrington had traveled from his home in Tennessee to attend the service. After the funeral, an altercation escalated into gunfire that killed Arrington and 76-year-old Carlton Allen; a woman was wounded and expected to recover.

Police arrested a woman named Jasmine Allen shortly after the shooting. Authorities described the episode as the result of a domestic dispute and charged her with capital murder and attempted murder as the case moved into the legal process.

The two families are left reeling after a day meant to remember a loved one became the scene of another senseless loss. Does anyone have information about the events at the gathering that afternoon or saw what happened after the service?
