Patch previously reported that Tuscaloosa Police initially responded at 3:48 p.m. on Nov. 23 to a report of one person shot in the 600 block of 30th Avenue East.

One man died as a result of the shooting and Tuscaloosa Violent Crimes Unit Commander Jack Kennedy said "subjects" were in custody, before mentioning the possibility of self-defense.

The man killed was identified Friday as Lakendrick Rayshon Dunn, 38.

In an update on Friday, Kennedy said after examining crimes scene and ballistic evidence, autopsy results, conducting follow up interviews, and after consultation with the District Attorney’s Office, probable cause was found to charge the shooter in this case with murder.

He then said warrants were obtained and Jamarcus Raheem Jordan, 20, was arrested Thursday for murder and shooting into an occupied dwelling.

Kennedy said the fatal shooting occurred during an argument between the two men.

This is a developing story. Tuscaloosa Patch will have more information as it becomes available.
