Police are investigating an incident of gunfire near Interstate 65 late Wednesday night.

The shooting happened at 11:45 p.m. No one was injured, but a BMW was struck by the bullets.

Homewood police Sgt. John Carr said a vehicle with three people inside was traveling on Lakeshore Boulevard and turning left onto I-65. As they were on the ramp leading to the interstate, they noticed a vehicle behind them that pulled alongside them and fired three rounds into the BMW.

The victims posted on Facebook that they were sisters who had just left Walmart. According to that post, one of the bullets went through the jacket of one of the women.

Carr said the victims gave a description of a black or dark gray Nissan Altima with multiple black males inside. “It’s just a random shooting right now,’’ he said.

Homewood detectives are in contact with Birmingham police and Jefferson County’s Metro Area Crime Center to see if there is any possible link to two similar shootings one week ago that killed a Birmingham man in one incident and grazed a 14-year-old girl in a separate incident.

Early Thursday, Jan. 3, someone opened fire on an eastern Jefferson County mother and her three children while they were stopped at a traffic light on Old Springville Road. One of the bullets grazed Lajonia Jefferson’s daughter but she is OK, as were her siblings and her mother.

Ten minutes later, Carltez “Tez” Clark, 28, died outside the Birmingham Police Department’s East Precinct shortly after 12:30 a.m. Thursday. He was raising his two girls - the youngest of whom lost her mother to gunfire in 2015.

Clark had gotten off work at Honda early Thursday morning and was a passenger in his girlfriend’s vehicle as the couple went to get something to eat. As they were traveling on Parkway East toward Center Point, police say a black male in a black, mid-sized car, pulled up alongside them and opened fire.

Clark told his girlfriend to turn and drive to the East Precinct on Red Lane Road, which she did. Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service responded to the scene, where Clark was pronounced dead.

Birmingham police and Jefferson County sheriff’s deputies have previous said they believe those two Jan. 3 shootings were linked. The vehicle description in both incidents was the same, and also matches that of the suspect vehicle in Homewood.

Since the shootings in the eastern portion of Jefferson County last week, there have been multiple social media reports of similar incidents, but police said they have not been reported to authorities or confirmed until the Wednesday-night incident in Homewood.

“Of course it’s concerning,’’ Carr said. “We will increase patrols while we investigate.”

Anyone with information on the Wednesday-night shooting is asked to call Homewood police at 205-332-6200.
