Alabama police have arrested three people in connection with a deadly, apartment complex shooting that was captured and live streamed Facebook videos.

Birmingham police said they arrested the following in connection with the killing of Asia Poole on Tuesday:

All suspects were booked into the Jefferson County Jail.

Poole, 21, was shot during an argument that turned deadly Tuesday night in the 2900 block of Gallant Drive. The suspects are also charged with the attempted murder of Poole’s friend who was shot, but survived the shooting.

Janiyah Hendrix and Poole were reported fighting over a relationship with a man.
