An overnight shooting in east Birmingham left a 17-year-old dead, and two other people injured.

Just after midnight, East Precinct officers were dispatched to the 100 block of Nekoma Drive on a report of a person shot. When they arrived, they found a man believed to be in his mid-40s suffering from a gunshot wound.

He was taken to UAB Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

While officers were responding to Nekoma Drive, they received word of another person shot in the 1600 block of Lake Drive N.E., said Officer Truman Fitzgerald.

Birmingham officers and Jefferson County sheriff’s deputies responded to the second scene where they found two males – ages 17 and 18 – wounded.

Center Point Fire and Rescue Service transported both injured teens to UAB Hospital.

The 17-year-old was pronounced dead after arriving at the hospital. Police identified him as Jaylen Andarrius Clark.

The 18-year-old, Fitzgerald said, was not seriously injured.

“We believe that the 18-year-old male and the 17-year-old victim were amongst a party that went to Nekoma Drive and were involved in a physical altercation with a separate party,’’ Fitzgerald said.

Authorities said it appears shots were exchanged between the 18-year-old and the Nekoma Drive victim. It wasn’t immediately clear who fired the fatal shots that killed Clark.

The 18-year-old is now in police custody.

Detectives will present their evidence to the Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office to determine whether charges will be filed.

Just several hours earlier, a 43-year-old man was killed in an unrelated shooting in Birmingham.

Robert Dewayne White was fatally shot in the 3400 block of 31st Avenue North while hanging out with friends. The suspect, who has not been identified, fired on the group, Fitzgerald said.

Based on the evidence so far, it didn’t immediately appear that the victim was specifically targeted, but the investigation is ongoing.

Clark is Birmingham’s ninth homicide this year. Of those, one has been ruled justifiable and therefore not deemed criminal.

In all of Jefferson County, there have been 11 homicides, including the nine in Birmingham.
