Fatal Birmingham shooting claims the lives of Laquita Dunn and Anthony Jackson – Obituary
New details have emerged about a tragic quadruple shooting that occurred on Thursday in Birmingham, Alabama. The coroner’s report has identified Laquita Dunn and Anthony Jackson as the two individuals who lost their lives in the incident, which authorities believe was “domestic in nature.”
Kerry Jackson, Jr. has been apprehended and is now facing charges, including two counts of capital murder and two counts of attempted murder.
Kelvin Jackson, a relative of the suspect, spoke to WVTM 13, revealing that the violence stemmed from a dispute over $250. Kelvin explained that Dunn was a friend, and the other male victim was his brother. The injured woman is reportedly the longtime girlfriend of his father, Anthony Jackson.
Kelvin shared that his nephew had struggled with drug addiction and that the shooting occurred after an attempt to steal $250 from Dunn. When she confronted him about the money, Kerry allegedly shot her.
“He made his mama drive him down here and killed my daddy,” Kelvin said. “He tried to kill my mom, too, because my mama stays up there with my brother. The only thing that saved her was she had her own bedroom, and she pushed a couch in front of the door to keep him from kicking it in. He fired several shots through her bedroom door trying to kill her.”
After the shooting, Kerry Jackson, Jr. fled the scene, prompting a lengthy manhunt by the Birmingham Police Department. He was eventually captured in the Five Points West business district. Police have expressed their gratitude to the family for providing crucial information that led to Kerry’s arrest.
