Authorities have released the name of a man found slain on a west Birmingham street.

The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office identified the victim as Michael Kimbrough. He was 48 and lived in the Bessemer area.

West Precinct officers were dispatched at 12:45 p.m. Tuesday to the 5900 block of Jesse Owens Avenue, which intersects with Sugar Ray Drive.

When they arrived, they found Kimbrough unresponsive in the roadway. He was pronounced dead at 1 p.m.

Investigators marked several shell casings near Kimbrough’s body.
