CENTER POINT, Ala. (AP) - Authorities say twin brothers are charged in a weekend killing near Birmingham.

The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office says 20-year-old Zamir Princeton Jones and Zaden Prince Jones were arrested in the Sunday night shooting death of 19-year-old Christian Dewayne Smith of Midfield.

News outlets report the victim’s body was found lying in a street in Center Point with multiple gunshot wounds. Police say the shooting followed a dispute over an earlier incident.



The brothers are jailed on murder charges with bail set at $50,000. Court records aren’t available to show whether either has a lawyer who could speak on their behalf.
