A Birmingham teen is behind bars, accused in the fatal shooting of a man in the city’s Inglenook community last month.

The 17-year-old is charged with murder in the May 25 slaying of 23-year-old Deunte Jurrell Winston.

Birmingham police announced the arrest Tuesday.

The teen was booked into the Jefferson County Jail Monday and remains held without bond.

The shooting happened about 9:30 a.m. that Thursday in the 4300 block of 44th Avenue North in Inglenook.
