Family, friends and classmates are mourning the death of a Parker High School senior who was fatally shot in Birmingham over the weekend.

Jaylen Clark, 17, was killed early Sunday during a dispute that left two others wounded. Authorities said Clark was unarmed.

An 18-year-old has been charged in connection with the shooting.

“My nephew Jaylen was a special person in life and losing him is like losing a part of myself,’’ said his uncle, Harrison Clark, who had raised Jaylen as his own. “My son Jaylen was one of the kindest teenagers.”

Jaylen was in the high school choir and was planning to attend Jacksonville State University after graduation on scholarship through the Birmingham Promise.

“We are deeply saddened by the loss of Parker High School senior Jaylen Clark who died as a result of gun violence over the weekend,’’ said Superintendent Mark Sullivan. “Please keep Jaylen’s family and the Parker student body and staff in your thoughts and prayers.”

East Precinct officers were dispatched just after midnight 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 Jaylen and 18-year-old Andre Carr Jr. wounded.

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

Jaylen was pronounced dead at 12:54 a.m.

Carr remains hospitalized but is expected to be OK.

He is charged with murder in Clark’s death, and attempted murder in the wounding of the adult male.

Fitzgerald said Jaylen and Carr were among a group of people who went to the Nekoma Drive house where a dispute erupted, followed by gunfire.

It appears, investigators said, that shots were exchanged between the adult and Carr.

It wasn’t immediately clear who fired the shots that killed Jaylen, but police said he is not believed to have instigated the conflict.

“The pain of losing Jaylen is overwhelming, especially when you’re trying to cope with it on your own,’’ Clark said. “My heart is hurting.
