A suspect is behind bars on several felony charges in connection with the shooting last weekend outside Tin Roof in Birmingham’s Lakeview District.
Deandre Duran Moore, 34, is charged with two count of attempted murder and one count being a felon in possession of a firearm, according to court records made public Friday.
Moore was booked into the Jefferson County Wednesday and remains held on bonds totaling $750,000.
The gunfire erupted about 12:45 a.m. Sunday in the 2700 block of Seventh Avenue South.
An off-duty Birmingham police officer was working inside Tin Roof when someone ran into the bar and told him there had been a shooting outside.
More officers, as well as Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service, rushed to the scene.
First responders arrived to find a male shot and a female grazed by a bullet outside Tin Roof. The two were together that night, and both were transported to UAB Hospital.
The male victim remains hospitalized but is now expected to recover. His family said he was shot in a case of mistaken identity.

An SUV fled the scene after the shooting. That vehicle was stopped on 21st Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenues.
Inside the SUV were two males, both seriously injured. They, too, were taken to UAB Hospital.
Authorities said Moore was one of the two men found wounded in the SUV.
Police said gunshots were exchanged following a dispute.
Court records show Moore pleaded guilty in 2010 to first-degree robbery. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
More arrests are expected in the Lakeview shooting.
