Formal charges have been filed in the shooting death of a 19-year-old woman who was killed early Sunday during an apparent argument with the man she had been dating.

Jeremiah Pressley, 23, is charged with capital murder in the slaying of Mya Parker.

The charge is capital because Parker was in her vehicle when the deadly shots were fired.

Pressley turned himself in to police over the weekend. He was booked into the Jeferson County Jail at 8:47 p.m. Tuesday and remains held without bond.

A 19-year-old woman shot to death inside her vehicle in Birmingham is being remembered as energetic, independent and, most of all, loved.

Parker died early Sunday at UAB Hospital, not long after she and another young woman were injured in the shooting at 10th Street West and Graymont Avenue.

The killing stunned her close-knit family.

“I’ve always told people my children wouldn’t be a statistic,’’ said grieving mother Marla Hinson-Parker said in a previous interview. “She wasn’t just the 56th homicide in Birmingham-she was way more than that.”

“So many people loved my baby,’’ Hinson-Parker said. “She was so pretty.”

Birmingham’s West Precinct officers were dispatched to the shooting at 4:30 a.m. Both Parker and another woman in the vehicle with her were transported to UAB Hospital.

Parker was pronounced dead at 5:02 a.m.

Parker had been out with the man she had been dating – for such a short period of time her parents didn’t even know him – when family says they got into an argument.

“They were just out celebrating Memorial Day weekend, just riding around and seeing what’s going on the city,’’ Hinson-Parker said.

Then they got into an argument.

“She had put him out the car,’’ she said. “He just walked up to the car and shot her.”

“The girl that was in the car with her said she told him, ‘You shot us,’ and he said, ‘I don’t care’ and took off running,’’ Hinson-Parker said.

The second young woman was also shot but is OK. A man in the vehicle was not injured.

Parker was a graduate of Minor High School, though she spent the majority of high school in Gardendale.

After graduating, she worked several jobs, including at Applebee’s in Five Points West.

She had just landed at new job with environmental services at UAB and was set to start orientation on Friday.

“She was our baby,’’’ her mother said.
