Julio Jones must have a really extended family.
The chances that four of your relatives would be shot on same day has to be slim to none, but slim won out.
What appears to be bullet holes outside a mobile home on Springfield Court in Magnolia Springs speaks to the violence that occurred as 30 gunshots shattered the tranquility of a Sunday afternoon. “We believe that it may have started inside the trailer, traveled out onto the porch of the trailer and also may have ended in the yard,” says Baldwin County Sheriff Hoss Mack.
Four people were hit: the homeowner 19-year-old Jahlen Baker, apparently the most critically injured. Brothers, 22-year-old Jermain Dickerson, 23- year-old Tamairus Dickerson and 20-year-old Royald Jones arrived at South Baldwin Medical Center in Foley in a Ford Explorer, prompting a lockdown of the hospital as a precaution.
Two nine millimeter pistols and a high caliber rifle were retrieved. The sheriff says around 100 items of evidence has also been collected including marijuana both from the home and the SUV driven to the hospital. But as to what sparked the gunfire no one knows or at least they are not saying, yet. “We’re still trying to get to the bottom of what confrontation led up to these gunshots,” says Mack.
Two other people were in the mobile home at the time of the shooting and were uninjured. They have not been identified. Three of those shot have criminal records and according to the Sheriff, everyone involved are related to Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones.
