Shortly before 6:30 p.m., a hail of gunfire aimed at Kei’lan’s Washington Square home erupted from the outside. Roughly 13 bullets entered Kei’lan’s bedroom, and even more in other parts of the house.
“I don’t even think he heard the gunshots,’’ Prewitt said, because of the headphones. “I’m pretty sure it was an AR-pistol that hit his head.”
Kei’lan’s mother, Christina Barnes, called her son’s name repeatedly after the shots rang out. He was her first-born, and her only son.
“He didn’t answer after that, so she walked in the room, and he was slumped over,’’ Prewitt said. “She just grabbed him and was telling him, ‘I love you. I love you.’ An innocent child with a bullet hole in his head. "
When they arrived on the scene, they found the 13-year-old boy dead inside the home.
The shots were fired from outside the home in an apparent drive-by. Police marked multiple shell casings in the street.
“It’s a senseless murder,’’ an emotional Chief Brent Blankley said Friday night. “We see it all the time where adults are shot and it’s terrible, but when it’s a kid, it takes it to another level.”
On Saturday, Tuscaloosa police posted this on Facebook: “Last night, our Chief of Police had to tell a mother and a father that their little boy was gone. Their son had been sitting in his room, playing on his iPad, when gunshots fired at the house came through the window and ended his life.
There were so many shell casings in the road, officers had to pull business cards from their wallets to fold and use as temporary evidence markers. The parents and family of a 13-year-old boy had to stand across the street and watch paramedics drive the ambulance away after realizing there was nothing they could do.”

‘A phenomenal kid’: Family stunned by death of Alabama 13-year-old fatally shot while playing on iPad in bed
The Westlawn Middle School eighth grader was wearing his beloved red beats, an open dictionary next to him even though he didn’t have school that day and wouldn’t again until Tuesday. “He was a very smart kid,’’ said his cousin, 26-year-old Corey Prewitt. “He probably had over 30 books in his room.”
