A 20-year-old Birmingham woman has been indicted in the 2016 shooting of a Birmingham bartender at a Southside club.

A Jefferson County grand jury indicted Savanah Lynn Hopkins on attempted murder. She is charged in the October 2016 wounding of then-23-year-old Zakk Earle at the Upside Down Plaza on Magnolia Avenue.

Hopkins, then 19, was initially arrested on Nov. 2 and was released from jail the same day after posting $30,000 bond. Her boyfriend, Sebastian Godby, was charged with unlawful possession of a controlled substance and drug possession with intent to distribute.

The shooting happened about 1:30 a.m. Oct. 12. Earle told police the couple came into the bar and the female - later identified as Hopkins - was not old enough to drink or even be there. Earle was trying to get her to leave when Godby handed her something - believed to be the gun - and jumped the bartender.

The victim's father, Roger Earle, has said his son had the suspect on the ground and yelled for someone to call 911. That's when Hopkins shot Zakk Earle. He was rushed to UAB Hospital where he underwent surgery not long after his arrival. "He remembered it all and the cops said it matched what the witnesses said and the video showed,'' he said.

The couple fled the scene and a lookout bulletin was issued to surrounding law enforcement agencies. The suspects crashed their vehicle on a downtown Birmingham bridge near Sloss Furnace and were captured after a short foot chase.

Zakk Earle was shot at point-blank range and suffered damage to his liver and abdomen. He recovered from the shooting.

According to the indictment, Hopkins intended to commit the crime of murder by shooting Earle with a pistol. A trial date has not yet been set.
