Laquita Charisse Dunn, 49, was fatally shot on August 8, 2024, during a multi-location shooting in Birmingham that authorities described as domestic in nature. Police were first dispatched about 4:45 p.m. to a home in the 1600 block of Dennison Avenue, where emergency personnel pronounced Ms. Dunn dead at the scene; another man from that residence had been taken to hospital with gunshot wounds. A relative told reporters the violence began after the shooter, identified as the man’s nephew, tried to steal $250 and shot Ms. Dunn when she confronted him.

The gunman then went a few blocks to a second home on the 1400 block of 17th Place Southwest, where a 76-year-old man, Anthony Jackson, was found dead and a woman described as his longtime girlfriend was wounded. Police identified the suspect as 31-year-old Kerry Jackson Jr., the grandson of Anthony Jackson and the son of the man shot at the first location. He was arrested at 9:15 p.m. in the Five Points West business district and later charged with two counts of capital murder and two counts of attempted murder; he was being held without bond as of August 2024.
