Deadly shooting was over Bama loss; woman charged out on bond BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) A woman charged with killing a fellow Alabama fan after the end of last weekends Iron Bowl football game was angry that the victim and others didnt seem upset over the Crimson Tides loss to archrival Auburn, said the sister of the slain woman. Shepherd said Briskey drank multiple shots of liquor during the game and went crazy when she heard people joking after Bama lost. It was over a football game, said Shepherd. Im never going to forget it because she died in my arms. Adrian Laroze Briskey, 28, was charged Monday with murder in the killing of 36-year-old Michelle Shepherd. The victims sister, Nekesa Shepherd, said she witnessed the killing and had no doubt it was about football, even though it was unclear to investigators whether the violence was motivated by the game. Nekesa Shepherd said Briskey flew into a rage when she saw the sisters and others joking that the Crimson Tides loss wasnt as bad as if the NBAs Miami Heat had lost a game. She said we werent real Alabama fans because it didnt bother us that they lost. And then she started shooting, Shepherd told The Associated Press. Shepherd said she and her sister were invited to the party by a mutual friend who also invited Briskey. About two dozen people were on hand. Shepherd, the mother of three, was shot to death in the parking lot of an apartment complex in the Birmingham suburb of Hoover and the women did not know each other before the party, Coker said.
