An early morning shooting at a Hueytown left a young man dead.

Authorities said the shooting happened at 1 a.m. Monday in the 2500 block of 19th Street North. Police had taped off the area around the Exxon gas station.

Romeo Bruce Bankhead, 21, was pronounced dead at 4:09 a.m. He lived in Bessemer.

No additional details surrounding the shooting have been released.

Bankhead is Hueytown’s third homicide this year, and the second in just over a week. Police on Monday said today’s homicide is not linked to last weekend’s shooting death of a 17-year-old boy.

In all of Jefferson County there have been 149 homicides including the three in Hueytown.
