A 25-year-old man was charged in connection with a shooting on the campus of Tuskegee University in Alabama early Sunday morning that left one person dead and a dozen others wounded as crowds gathered for the school’s homecoming celebrationrich9, the authorities said.

Ms. Gentili, 52, was found dead in her Brooklyn apartment in February after taking a combination of drugs, court documents show. Her death prompted an outpouring of grief among members of New York’s L.G.B.T.Q. community, with more than 1,000 people packing the pews at a spirited celebration of her life at St. Patrick’s Cathedral.

The full scope of the inquiry into the mayor is not publicly known, and it remains unclear why investigators were seeking information about the additional countries or whether Mr. Adams has had dealings with them. But the investigation has focused at least in part on whether, in exchange for illegal donations, Mr. Adams pressured the Fire Department to approve a new, high-rise Turkish Consulate in Midtown Manhattan despite safety concerns. Investigators have also examined free flights and flight upgrades the mayor received from Turkish Airlines.

The man, Jaquez Myrick of Montgomery, was arrested on Sunday and charged under federal law with possessing a machine gun, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency said on Facebook.

Officers found Mr. Myrick leaving the scene of the shooting with a handgun equipped with a machine gun conversion device, the agency said. It was not immediately clear what led to the shooting, which took place about 1:40 a.m. on the campus.

The person who was killed was identified on Monday as La’Tavion Johnson, 18, of Troy, Ala., according to the Macon County coroner, Hal Bentley. The victim was not a student at the university, the university said in a statement.

“The parents of this individual have been notified,” the university said. “Several others, including Tuskegee University students, were injured.”

Twelve people were wounded in the shooting and taken to hospitals, the authorities said. Their conditions were not immediately clear on Sunday. Four other people were also hurt. At least one of the people injured had been in critical condition, The Associated Press reported on Monday.

The shooting took place as crowds gathered at the historically Black liberal arts university, which has 3,000 students, to celebrate the last day of its 100th homecoming week, which began on Nov. 3.

In a video posted on social media, a young woman could be heard shouting “Get down! Get down!” as she and others ducked behind a car during the gunfire.

After the shooting, Mr. Johnson’s father, Larry Johnson wrote on Facebook, “We need to put the guns down.”

Mr. Johnson’s mother, Tamika Johnson, also posted a photograph of her son, wearing a cap and gown for graduation.

On Monday, Mr. Myrick was being held in the Montgomery County jail, records show. It was not clear if he had a lawyer.

The authorities have not said whether they believe others were involved in the shooting but have urged anyone with videos or more information to report it to the F.B.I.

The university is in the city of Tuskegee, which has a population of about 8,700 residents and is about 40 miles east of the state capital of Montgomery, Ala.

The homecoming celebration included a parade, concerts and a football game between Tuskegee and Miles College on Saturday.

“We extend our deepest condolences to those impacted and pray for healing and justice,” Miles College said in a statement on Sunday. “Miles College stands with you in this difficult time.”
