Jasmine Lashenay Nixon, 23, died on April 28, 2016, in Birmingham, Alabama, after being shot during a confrontation at a home in the 500 block of 16th Terrace NW in Center Point. The day began with an earlier altercation between Nixon’s teenage sister and a teenage boy. Later, Nixon and several others went to the boy’s residence to confront him.

An attempt was made to force entry. When the boy’s mother opened the door, Nixon allegedly pushed past her, causing the woman to fall. The woman’s husband fired a single handgun shot inside the home; Nixon was struck, transported to a hospital, and pronounced dead. The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office investigated and the Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office later ruled the shooting justified, determining the homeowner acted in self-defense and filing no charges.
