Authorities have released the name of a man killed in a Birmingham shooting as the search for the gunman continues.

Birmingham police Wednesday identified the victim as Charlie Moore. He was 61.

Moore became the city’s 100th homicide Tuesday night when he was shot to death inside an apartment at North Birmingham Homes public housing community, also known as Vice Hills.

The city in 2023 didn’t reach 100 slayings until Oct. 3. On this date last year, there had been 87 homicides.

Shortly before 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, the police department’s Reat Time Crime Center specialists alerted North Precinct officers they spotted a stolen vehicle in Vice Hills.

Officers arrived on the scene and found the stolen vehicle in the 3100 Block of 43rd Avenue North.

Officers then heard shots coming from a nearby apartment.

A North Precinct officer saw an armed suspect exit the apartment.

“Our officer confronted the armed suspect and during the confrontation, our officer fired shots at the armed suspect,’’ said Officer Truman Fitzgerald.

The suspect got into the passenger side of the stolen vehicle, which then sped away.

North Precinct officers pursued the stolen vehicle until the occupants abandoned the vehicle in the 4100 Block of Fairmont Place.

During the pursuit, additional North Precinct officers responded to the apartment where shots were fired, Fitzgerald said. Officers entered the apartment and found Moore unresponsive inside.

Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service pronounced him dead on the scene.

Fitzgerald said Wednesday morning no arrests have been made.

Also, he said, it wasn’t clear if the officer’s bullets struck the armed homicide suspect.

Fitzgerald said the Real Time Crime Center, which includes all-seeing live technology nestled in a hub on the fourth floor of police headquarters downtown, “has been crucial” to the case.

“We got into this area fast enough for our officer to hear those shots being fired” in the apartment, Fitzgerald said.

“Not only did our officers hear those shots being fired, our officer was involved with a confrontation with a potential murder suspect where our officer fired shots at the murder suspect,’’ he said, “so I think this just goes to show you how crucial the Birmingham Police Department’s Real Time Crime Center plays in our daily duties.”

Of the 100 homicides this year in Birmingham, one included an officer-involved shooting by an outside agency and another was a 4-year-old girl who died from a 2022 shooting. Of the 100, eight have been ruled justifiable and therefore aren’t deemed criminal.

In all of Jefferson County, there have been 125 homicides, including the 100 in Birmingham. On this date in 2023, there had been 120 homicides countywide.
