A homicide investigation is underway after a man was found dead Monday in his Birmingham home.

South Precinct officers were dispatched to a house in the 4300 block of 13th Avenue North in the city’s Kingston neighborhood.

Police responded to the home at 1:53 p.m. to perform a welfare check.

Sgt. LaQuitta Wade said a friend stopped by to see the victim, finding the front door open and the house in disarray.

The friend did not see the victim at that point but became concerned and called 911 for a wellness check.

Officers entered the home and found the victim, whose identity has not been released, unresponsive on the floor. He was pronounced dead on the scene.

Wade said the victim was fatally shot. It wasn’t immediately clear when he was last known to be alive.

Police roped off the entire block, as frantic relatives showed up at the scene.

The victim is the city’s 64th homicide this year, and the second to take place on Monday.

Christen Taylor Adams, 22, of Birmingham, was found shot to death just after midnight in the 4800 block of Avenue N in Ensley.

In all of Jefferson County, there have been 95 homicides including the 64 in Birmingham.

Anyone with information is asked to call homicide detectives at 205-254-1764 or Crime Stoppers at 205-254-7777.
