A Birmingham man has been indicted in the 2021 Easter Sunday shooting at W.C. Patton Park that killed Areyelle Yarbrough and injured five others.

Jalynd Rashad Rayford, 21, was initially charged in the crime last year and taken into custody in Georgia by teams of law enforcement officers.

He is charged with murder in the death of the 32-year-old Yarbrough.

The shooting injured five other people ages 5 to 21 at the time of the shooting. The 5-year-old, Justice Holness, was shot in the lungs and the bullet also and fractured his collar bone.

Rayford is not charged in those crimes, and investigators are still searching for those responsible in their shootings.

A Jefferson County grand jury issued the indictment against Rayford earlier this month, according to court records made public Friday.

He has been out of jail on bond since November.

The gunfire erupted just after 7 p.m. that Sunday, April 4, 2021, while hundreds, if not more, were gathered celebrating the holiday.

Officers arrived to find Yarbrough laying on the ground just outside the passenger door of her vehicle wounded by gunfire.

She was pronounced dead outside vehicle, and those with her said she was trying to protect some of the children who were with her.

A witness said two women were sitting on top of a blue Dodge Charger when someone opened fire, striking the Charger and the two women.

The witness said one of those women was shot in the chest; the witness said the other was Yarbrough.

Multiple people then started shooting.

“They didn’t even know what they were shooting at,” she said, estimating about 100 shots were fired.

Yarbrough was a graduate of Alabama A&M University and was working on her MBA.

She was a manager over 12 employees at the Jefferson County Department of Revenue where she headed principal accounting for business and sale tax licensing.

The grand jury also indicted Rayford on an unrelated robbery of a woman that took place several weeks after the park shooting.

Birmingham police Chief Scott Thurmond has previously said investigators believe members the Birmingham street gang – H2K or Hard to Kill – were behind the dozens of bullets fired in the park that day.

“H2K became very prevalent with the Patton Park shooting,’’ Thurmond said in a previous AL.com interview.

H2K has since been the target of Birmingham, county, state and federal investigations. Some leaders and members have been jailed on other charges.

He said last year he did not know if Rayford was a member of that gang.

A trial date has not yet been set.
