Seventeen-year-old Ralph Lil Ralph Tinsley Woodfin III was shot and killed in Tarrant, near Birmingham, Alabama, on August 11, 2017. Authorities said the shooting occurred during a dispute involving guns and described the incident as arising from an alleged robbery attempt. Woodfin was the nephew of then-mayoral candidate Randall Woodfin.

Police arrested local rapper Daniel Jelks, known as Two Gunz Vito, charging him with murder. Jelks said he fired in self-defense during a robbery attempt; investigators said the shooting resulted from an argument over firearms and a stolen vehicle. The case went to trial but ended in a hung jury and a mistrial in June 2018; court records noted a new trial would be set.

Are there details about Woodfin’s movements that night, witnesses, or additional information about the dispute that someone can share?
