Second Arrest in Tuscaloosa Block Party Shooting | Birmingham News

Another arrest in Tuscaloosa ties back to the chaotic block party shooting — 22-year-old Kemarkus Antonio Allen now faces seven counts of first-degree assault plus a probation violation for theft. The first suspect, Keyonta Jones, was initially charged with eight assault counts, possibly reduced after one victim admitted they fabricated being shot. Police say the violence erupted from a gang brawl, sending bullets into a crowd of 500–1,000 people, many of them kids just trying to have fun. Investigators are still gathering tips — if you saw or know something, contact the Tuscaloosa Violent Crimes Unit or the FBI. This story’s far from over — and it’s a sobering reminder of how fast peace can turn deadly. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
