A 5-year-old Alabama boy was fatally shot when he got caught in the middle of a gunfight between two women on Saturday, police said. Tanarius "TJ" Moore died from the shooting, which unfolded in Birmingham around 2:30 p.m. Two women, who are related to each other, began shooting at each other, leaving Tanarius hit in the crossfire.
It wasn't immediately clear if Tanarius was related to either of the women, one of whom was in custody as of Saturday, WBMA reported. Tanarius was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital later that day, according to officials.
The child had a "bright future," his football coach, Tabios Darden, wrote on Facebook. He said the boy had recently been named to the All-Star team and his death hurts even more knowing he's "gone because of a senseless act of violence."
