A 39-year-old Birmingham man has been identified as the victim killed in a shooting in the parking lot of a Homewood CVS.

The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office identified the victim as Eric Steven Kaczmarek.

The gunfire erupted at 5:31 p.m. Saturday at the store on the corner of West Valley Avenue and Green Springs Highway.

Kaczmarek was taken to UAB Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 11:45 p.m.

Police have not announced any arrests in the deadly shooting.

A witness, who asked that her name not be used, said she had just pulled up to the store after dropping her daughter off at the airport when she heard a loud noise that she thought was a car backfiring.

She looked at the car next to her, and saw the victim exit a vehicle. That car then took off.

Only one shot was fired, she said. “It was loud,’’ she said.

Kaczmarek, she said, was holding his neck area as he approached the store asking for help. He then collapsed to the ground.

The woman told store workers to call 911, which they did. Store employees then applied pressure to the man’s wound while they waited for medics to arrive.

“It was scary,’’ she said. “I was crying. I felt so helpless.”

She said it appeared the shooting happened inside the car in which the victim was a passenger. The car had backed into the parking space.

“It just shocked me more than anything,’’ she said.

The deadly shooting is Homewood’s third homicide this year. In all of Jefferson County, there have been 166 homicides, including the three in Homewood.

Anyone with information is asked to call Homewood police at 205-332-6200 or Crime Stoppers at 205-254-7777.
