On the evening of Friday, April 8, 2022, a dispute inside a home on 33rd Street in the Ensley neighborhood of Birmingham, Alabama spilled outdoors and ended in gunfire. Officers arriving shortly before 9 p.m. found 46-year-old Veronica Joseph unresponsive on the ground; she was pronounced dead at the scene. Two other men were shot that night — Joseph’s boyfriend with life-threatening injuries who was taken to UAB Hospital, and a third man with non-life-threatening wounds.

Within days, authorities arrested Jamari Lee Cook, described as a 21-year-old son of Veronica Joseph. Cook was charged with Joseph’s murder and with two counts of attempted murder for the other shootings. He was held without bond on the murder charge, with bond set at $120,000 for the attempted murder counts. The specific cause of the argument that led to the shooting has not been released.

Did anyone in the Ensley area witness the argument or the shooting that night and can provide more details?
