Authorities have released the name of a man fatally shot Thursday night during an argument in west Birmingham.

The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office Friday identified the victim as Nicholas Marquis Johnson. He was 33.

Shortly before 9:30 p.m., West Precinct officers were dispatched to the 5800 block of Monte Sano Road at the Vines at Hillside West.

Officer Truman Fitzgerald said 911 first received calls of an argument. Next, Shot Spotter indicated shots fired, and finally someone called reporting a person shot.

When officers arrived, they found Johnson inside a vehicle suffering from a gunshot wound. He was taken by Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service to a hospital where he was pronounced dead at 9:48 p.m.

Fitzgerald said officers and detectives are trying to determine the nature of the argument.

Shot Spotter registered at least 10 rounds fired, but he said it’s unclear whether there was an exchange of gunfire or if just one person fired.

It was not immediately clear if the victim was in the car when he was shot or if he got into the car afterward.

No arrests have been announced.

Johnson is Birmingham’s 74th homicide of the year. Of those, one was an officer-involved shooting by an outside law enforcement agency and six others have been ruled justifiable and therefore aren’t deemed criminal.

In all of Jefferson County, there have been 106 homicides, including the 74 in Birmingham.

Anyone with information is asked to call Birmingham homicide detectives at 205-254-1764 or Crime Stoppers at 205-254-7777.
