Jaylen Andarrius Clark was 17 when he was shot during a multi-location shooting that began just after midnight on January 29, 2023, in Birmingham. Calls first sent police to the 100 block of Nekoma Drive; while officers were en route a second call came from the 1600 block of Lake Drive Northeast. Responders found one wounded adult on Nekoma Drive and two teenagers with gunshot wounds on Lake Drive Northeast. Clark was taken to UAB Hospital and pronounced dead; the other teen and the adult survived with non-life-threatening injuries.

Police described the violence as arising from a clash between groups: the teens had gone to Nekoma Drive, became involved in a physical altercation with another group, and gunfire was exchanged. Two days later, on January 31, 2023, investigators announced a suspect, Andre Carr Jr., was in custody at a hospital receiving treatment for a gunshot wound and was later booked into Jefferson County Jail on murder and attempted murder warrants and to be held without bond.

Did anyone in Birmingham see or hear anything that night that could help clarify how the confrontation began?
