Michael Lee was 17 when he was shot and killed at McAlpine Park in Birmingham, Alabama, on the afternoon of February 2, 2018. The confrontation is said to have begun with an online dispute that escalated into violence in the park; Lee was pronounced dead at the scene. Friends and family described him as kindhearted and goofy who liked making others laugh.

A Jefferson County grand jury returned indictments in July 2018 charging four people in connection with the shooting. Eighteen-year-old Jakia Martin and three 17-year-olds — Tremon Demarco Flemming, Antonio Wydaron Wagner, and Erion Markese Johnson — were accused of causing Lee’s death by shooting him with a pistol; the indictments characterized the killing as occurring in a sudden heat of passion rather than as premeditated murder, and the defendants were charged with manslaughter, a Class B felony in Alabama.

Does anyone who knew Michael or was in McAlpine Park that day have information that could help clarify what happened?
