A woman has been charged in the Monday night shooting death of her ex-boyfriend in Birmingham.

Vivian Simone Brantley, 24, is charged with murder in the slaying of 47-year-old Damian Dawson, a father of five.

Brantley surrendered to police hours after Dawson was killed and booked into the Birmingham City Jail. The warrant against her was issued Wednesday by Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office.

The fatal shots rang out about 5:40 p.m. in the 100 block of Ninth Court West. That area is near the College Hills community.

Officer Truman Fitzgerald said North Precinct officers were dispatched to the neighborhood on a report of a person shot.

They arrived to find Dawson in the driveway of a family member’s home.

Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service rushed him to UAB Hospital where he was pronounced dead at 6:01 p.m.

Family members are devastated by his death.

Dawson was in a new relationship, and Brantley couldn’t take it, they said..

“Five minutes of anger,’’ said his sister, Jennifer Pritchett, ended with his life being taken.’’
