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.
Authorities have identified the man shot and killed Friday afternoon in a parking lot outside a Little Caesars restaurant in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood.
The victim has been named as Stevens Jeffrey, 29, according to police and the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office.
The shooting occurred in the 2600 block of West Cermak Road near Rockwell Street at approximately 1:10 p.m., according to the Chicago Police Department (CPD).
Preliminary reports indicate that Jeffrey was sitting in his vehicle when he was approached by an unknown vehicle.
An armed individual exited that vehicle and opened fire, striking Jeffrey multiple times in the face and body.
Emergency responders arrived on the scene, where Jeffrey was pronounced dead. He was discovered inside his vehicle with his two young children, ages 4 and 6, who were unharmed.
Both children were transported to Stroger Hospital for precautionary evaluation.
The shooting took place in the parking lot of a Little Caesars restaurant, where investigators recovered multiple shell casings and placed numerous evidence markers on the ground.
As of Friday evening, no suspects are in custody, and detectives from the CPD Area Four Homicide Unit are leading the investigation. Police have not released information on a possible motive.
