Hoover Woman Fatally Shot During Dispute with Brother, Suspect in Custody
Hoover, AL – A 55-year-old woman was shot and killed Saturday morning outside a Hoover residence following an argument with her brother, who has since been arrested and charged with murder, according to law enforcement officials.
At approximately 8:00 a.m., Hoover police responded to reports of shots fired in the 700 block of Jasmine Way, a small one-street subdivision off Shades Crest Road.
Multiple 911 callers reported that a woman had been shot and injured.
Upon arrival, officers found the victim lying outside the residence, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
Witnesses and officers provided emergency aid until Hoover Fire medics arrived.
The victim was transported to UAB Hospital, where she was later pronounced deceased.
Authorities have identified the victim as Rosalind Barclay, 55, of Childersburg.
Investigators determined that the shooting stemmed from a domestic dispute between Rosalind Barclay and her brother, 40-year-old Jonathan Arthur Barclay, who resided at the Hoover home where the incident took place.
Police say that Rosalind Barclay arrived at the residence earlier that morning, and a verbal altercation began inside the home.
The argument then escalated outside, near her vehicle, at which point Jonathan Barclay retrieved a firearm and opened fire, striking his sister multiple times.
Neighbors reported hearing six gunshots before emergency responders arrived.
An off-duty law enforcement officer was in the area at the time of the shooting and was able to quickly intervene, detaining the suspect before additional officers arrived.
Jonathan Barclay has been formally charged with murder and is being held without bond.
Hoover Police detectives are continuing their investigation to gather further details surrounding the incident.

ROBESON COUNTY, N.C. — A late-night party in eastern North Carolina turned deadly early Saturday morning when gunfire erupted, leaving two people dead and 13 others injured, according to the Robeson County Sheriff’s Office.
Sheriff Burnis Wilkins confirmed that deputies were called to the scene on Dixon Drive, just outside the town of Maxton, at approximately 3:00 a.m. following reports of a shooting at a large outdoor gathering attended by more than 150 people.
When deputies arrived, chaos had already unfolded — witnesses said over 150 individuals fled the area before law enforcement could secure the scene.
Authorities identified the deceased victims as Jessie Locklear and his son Nehemiah Locklear.
Several other victims sustained critical injuries and were transported to area hospitals for emergency treatment.
Sheriff Wilkins stated that, based on preliminary findings, the shooting appears to have been an isolated incident, and there is no ongoing threat to the wider community.
The Robeson County Sheriff’s Office, with assistance from multiple agencies, continues to investigate the circumstances that led to the violence.

Authorities are urging anyone with information—or anyone who attended the gathering and witnessed the incident—to contact the Robeson County Sheriff’s Investigators at 910-671-3100.
“We know there were many people present when this occurred,” Sheriff Wilkins said. “If you saw something or know something, we need you to come forward to help bring justice to the victims and their families.”
