A suspect is in custody in the weekend shooting death of a 65-year-old man in Birmingham.

Jerome Reese Jr., 56, is charged with capital murder in the killing of Curtis Jerome Pruitt.

The Birmingham Police Department’s Crime Reduction Team arrested Reese in the 200 block of 25th Court N.W.

The Hueytown man was booked into the Jefferson County Jail at 9:24 p.m. Wednesday. He is being held without bond.

Just after 2:30 p.m. Sunday, North Precinct officers received a call of a person shot in the 900 block of Center Street North.

Police arrived to find a gray SUV in the 10 block of 9th Avenue West, which is walking distance from the original location, said Officer Truman Fitzgerald. The location was near the entrance of a small apartment building.

Pruitt was unresponsive in the driver’s seat. Birmingham firefighters attempted live-saving measures on the scene and then rushed him to UAB Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Police said the suspect – now identified as Reese – Fitzgerald said it appears a man on foot approached the SUV and opened fire. He then fled.

Police have not disclosed a motive.

The charge is capital because Pruitt was inside a vehicle when he was killed.
