Shooting at Tuscaloosa Block Party | Birmingham News

A block party in Tuscaloosa turned deadly when a shooting left seven people injured, including a 12-year-old in critical condition. Investigators say it began as a gang dispute, with bullets striking innocent bystanders. A 23-year-old, Keyonta Jones, has been arrested and faces multiple assault charges — though one may be dropped. This isn’t his first run-in with the law: he was charged with murder at 16, but charges were dismissed after an eyewitness testified he was on the ground during the shooting. Recently, Jones was arrested for possessing a stolen gun and was out on bond before this latest incident. Five of the victims were 18 or younger; two remain in critical condition. The FBI is now offering a $10,000 reward for tips leading to a conviction, urging the community to come forward to help bring justice and keep streets safer.
