Two men have been charged in the shooting death of 16-year-old Birmingham girl over spring break.

Birmingham police on Wednesday announced murder charges against Arnold Laterrant Fuller, 27, of Midfield, and Daemar Marco Martin, 22, of Birmingham. They are charged in the March 29 slaying of Jada White, a Jackson-Olin student.

Fuller surrendered to police, said Officer Truman Fitzgerald. Martin was taken into custody by Birmingham police detectives and West Precinct patrol officers.

Both are being held without bond in the Jefferson County Jail.

Police have previously said Jada was shot to death while with a group of teens who may have been vandalizing a house and car, and that appears to be the motive in her death. The suspects were acquaintances of the homeowner whose property was being vandalized, but police said the homeowners had no involvement whatsoever in the deadly violence that followed.

Jada was killed just before 2:30 a.m. while she and several other juveniles were out drinking and riding around Ensley and damaging someone else’s vehicle, Birmingham police Chief Scott Thurmond has said.

“At 2:24 in the morning, I don’t know what a 16-year-old was doing out with three other juveniles, all of which had been drinking alcohol. They’re damaging a vehicle and they subsequently get shot at,’’ Thurmond said.

“Where were the parents? Did their parents know where they were? Did their parents know they were consuming alcohol? Did their parents know they were out at 2:24 in the morning?’’ he said. “I don’t think so, and that’s a problem.”

“We’re not babysitters,’’ Thurmond said. “That’s not our job.”

“We had one of the females passed out and throwing up in our police car, throwing up here so she’s unable to speak to us,’’ he said. “They’re juveniles and we can’t find their parents to come up here so we can question them.”

“One of the females even told us, ‘I don’t have time to deal with this right now. I have to be home by 7 a.m.,’’’ Thurmond said. “Well, 7 a.m. is not an acceptable curfew.”

“Those are the challenges we face in many of cases, not just juveniles but across the board,” Thurmond said.

“It’s difficult for us to make cases to present to the district attorney office when you have absolutely no cooperation,’’ he said. “This was obviously someone who was a friend of theirs, but they don’t want to do anything to help law enforcement solve the case and get justice for their friend.”

Jada was one of two Jackson-Olin students killed over spring break.

Caleb Witt, 17, was shot to death midday Sunday, March 26, on the city’s southwest side. Birmingham police responded shortly before 12:30 p.m. to University Crossings apartments after Shot Spotter – the city’s gunfire detection system – indicated multiple rounds were fired.

“Unfortunately, Mr. Whitt was with a group of people that were shooting into a home and some individuals returned fire, unfortunately striking Mr. Whitt,’’ Thurmond said. “There again, we have a 17-year-old engaging in illegal activity, possessing a firearm, and he lost his life. This could have been prevented had Mr. Whitt not been engaging in that type of activity.”

A suspect has been identified but no charges have been announced.

Jackson-Olin High School Principal Nichole Davis-Williams said both students were loved at the school.

“It’s personal for me,’’ Davis-Williams said. “It hurts, deeply.”
