Suspect In 4-Year-Old's Murder Arrested Again
The man accused of killing 4-year-old Jurnee Coleman was arrested on gun charges after being released on bond.

BIRMINGHAM, AL — Less than 24 hours after being released from jail, murder suspect Raymond Shine was arrested again Thursday. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives have charged the 38-year-old Shine with being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Shine was already charged by state authorities with murder, attempted murder and certain persons forbidden to possess a firearm. These charges stem from the death of 4-year-old Jurnee Coleman, who was hit by a bullet that entered her home the night of July 28.
The shooting happened just after 10 p.m. July 28 on Joppa Avenue in the city's Marks Village public housing community. Neighbors say the little girl was inside the apartment and a relative was getting her juice from the refrigerator when two suspects got into a shootout right outside the apartment. Shine was arrested within hours of the shooting.
