<p class="wp-block-paragraph" id="NEIB7HUESBGJFIQSKFC2Q2WMBE">An <a href="https://www.al.com/news/birmingham/2021/04/four-wounded-one-dead-after-easter-night-shooting-in-birmingham.html">eyewitness said</a> there were roughly 1,000 people in the park celebrating Easter, many grilling and eating with their families. She said two women were sitting on top of a blue Dodge Charger when someone opened fire, striking the Charger and the two women. <br>The witness said one of those women is the person who authorities say was shot in the chest; the witness said the other is the deceased victim later identifiied as 32-year-old Areyelle Meishaun Yarbrough. She was pronounced dead on the ground just outside of the backseat of the vehicle .<br>The witness said one person opened fire, and then multiple people started shooting in different directions. She saw people running and leaving, so police and ambulances were having trouble getting in. “They didn’t even know what they were shooting at,” she said, estimating that about 100 shots were fired.<br>Birmingham Police Sgt. Rod Mauldin said there are no suspects in custody yet.<br>Appealing for information, he said: &#8216;This park was full of people, full of families and we know people saw things today.&#8217;<br>&#8216;We need people to come forward with any information you have concerning this incident. No matter how big or small you think it is, its valuable to us tonight. We need descriptions. We need names.&#8217; <br>Patton Park has long been a gathering place on Sundays. While there has been trouble in the past from the crowds, police said there have not been any problems there in quite some time. “But today is a major problem,’&#8217; Mauldin said.<br>“We have to stand up for our communities when things like this happen,’&#8217; he said. “This was a park full of people and there were several children in the park tonight.”<br>Mauldin said such violence is frustrating for the community. “People want to come out to our parks and have a good time, enjoy their families,’&#8217; he said. “These suspects chose to put everybody in danger,” Mauldin said.<br></p>
