The Birmingham Police Department is conducting a homicide investigation. The incident occurred on Saturday, February 26, 2022.
The victim has been identified as:
Navari Deon Jones, (38), B/M, of Bessemer, Alabama.
Just before 1 a.m., North Precinct officers were dispatched to a person shot call at the Tru-Riders Motorcycle Club located at 905 Reverend Abraham Woods Junior Boulevard.
Officers arrived on the scene and observed an adult female victim suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. During this time, a Birmingham Police officer was at BPD Headquarters when the officer heard a car crash in the 1700 block of 1st Avenue North.
Upon further investigation, the officer observed the driver of the vehicle suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. Note: The driver’s vehicle collided with two parked vehicles.
Birmingham Fire and Rescue (BFR) personnel arrived on both scenes. They transported the female victim to UAB Hospital with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. BFR pronounced the male victim in front of BPD Headquarters deceased on the scene.
Officers also learned an additional adult female victim showed up at UAB Hospital with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.
The preliminary investigation suggests an altercation ensued inside of the location prior to the suspect firing shots.
