A dispute over a cellphone in the Ensley neighborhood of Birmingham, Alabama, ended in tragedy when four-year-old Rodriquez Ferguson was struck in the head by a stray bullet while playing outside his grandmother’s home on September 25, 2016. The child, described as African American, died from the wound, and the community was left grieving a loss caused by an adult altercation that turned deadly when a firearm was introduced.

The Birmingham Police Department investigated and within 48 hours arrested 27-year-old Joseph Patrick Lewis. Lewis was charged with reckless murder and later indicted by a grand jury; his bail was set at $100,000.

If anyone witnessed the argument or the moments around the shooting, or has information about what happened, please share what is known with investigators.
