On the afternoon of Monday, September 9, 2019, 28-year-old Richard Earl Jenkins Jr. was shot in the head during a dispute at the Timberlane II Apartments in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Police were called about 4 p.m.; Jenkins was taken to DCH Regional Medical Center and pronounced dead there.

Investigators from the Tuscaloosa Violent Crimes Unit say the fatal encounter began as a heated argument between Jenkins and 29-year-old Sheneka Hoskins over ownership of property they both claimed. The disagreement focused on a handgun, and a struggle over the weapon culminated in it discharging and striking Jenkins in the head. Law enforcement believed Hoskins was the aggressor and charged her with manslaughter; she was booked into the Tuscaloosa County Jail with bond set at $30,000.

Who knew Richard or the circumstances around the property dispute and can shed more light on what happened that afternoon?
