CENTER POINT, ALABAMA** — A 32-year-old woman was injured in a shooting in Center Point after gunfire erupted near three vehicles on October 8, 2026, according to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office. Investigators say the woman was an innocent bystander who was caught in the incident.
The shooting prompted a coordinated response involving sheriff’s deputies and specialized law enforcement units. Three 18-year-old suspects have been charged in connection with the investigation.
## Shooting Reported on Chalkville Manor Drive
At approximately 3:45 p.m. on Thursday, October 8, deputies responded to the 100 block of Chalkville Manor Drive after receiving a report of a shooting.
When deputies arrived, they found a 32-year-old woman suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. Center Point Fire & Rescue responded and transported her to UAB Hospital for treatment.
The woman was later released from the hospital, according to authorities. Investigators said she was not an intended participant in the incident.
## Investigators Describe How the Shooting Unfolded
According to the preliminary investigation, three vehicles were at the location when someone inside one of them allegedly began firing a gun.
After the gunfire, all three vehicles left the scene.
Deputies began gathering evidence, interviewing individuals and working to identify the vehicles and people involved. Authorities have not publicly disclosed what initially led to the shooting or provided further details about the relationships among those involved.
## Specialized Units Help Locate Three Vehicles
The sheriff’s office mobilized several resources to locate the vehicles, including the STAR 1 Unit, the Metro Area Crime Center (MACC) and drone operators.
Investigators eventually located all three vehicles at separate locations. The occupants were detained without incident.
Sheriff Mark Pettway praised the coordinated response, saying the work of deputies and specialized units helped officers quickly locate those associated with the incident and reduce the possibility of further harm.
The rapid response also allowed investigators to pursue leads while the case was still developing.
## Three Suspects Charged
Authorities identified the three suspects as 18-year-olds Amari Turnbough, Carver Aaron and Tamon Jones.
– **Amari Turnbough:** Charged with two counts of discharging a firearm into an occupied dwelling or vehicle and one count of assault in the first degree. He was released from the Jefferson County Jail after posting a $150,000 bond.
– **Carver Aaron:** Charged with robbery in the first degree. He remains in the Jefferson County Jail without bond.
