A social media feud turned deadly in Birmingham on August 20, 2024, when 21-year-old Asia Alyce Poole was shot and killed outside the Monarch Ridge apartment complex on Gallant Drive. Police say an argument between Poole and 19-year-old Janiyah Hendrix over a man escalated into a physical fight that was partially streamed on Facebook Live, drawing in multiple others and culminating in a massive shootout. Responding officers found Poole unresponsive; Birmingham Fire and Rescue pronounced her dead at the scene.

Investigators estimate about 168 rounds were fired from ARs, pistols and Dracos. Poole’s best friend was also wounded and expected to survive. Arrests announced during the probe include Janiyah Hendrix on a first-degree auto theft charge for allegedly leaving in Poole’s car; Justin Jamond Hendrix, 20, and Taylor McCloud, 22, on murder and attempted murder charges; Aacoreyah Denae Woods, 20; and a 17-year-old male charged with murder. Authorities said six to ten people were armed at the scene. Defense attorneys suggested someone in a breezeway may have fired first, a claim investigators dispute citing no shell casings there.

If anyone witnessed the shooting, the altercation beforehand, or saw movements of vehicles and people at Monarch Ridge that night, can you share what you remember?
