Arrielle Lashawn Parker-Jefferies was 16 and a rising senior at Wenonah High School when she was killed in a drive-by shooting in Birmingham, Alabama. On the night of July 8, 2018, she was in a vehicle on Westwood Drive when another car pulled alongside and an occupant opened fire. Arrielle was rushed to a children’s hospital with a gunshot wound and died about thirty minutes after arrival.

Birmingham police opened an investigation and appealed to the public for information and witnesses who could identify those responsible. Birmingham City Schools released a statement mourning her death and calling for an end to gun violence affecting the city’s youth. No suspects had been publicly identified or taken into custody in the immediate aftermath.

If anyone knew Arrielle, saw activity on Westwood Drive that night, or has information that could help investigators, please come forward.
