Authorities have released the name of a young man shot to death in a west Birmingham neighborhood.

The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office identified the victim as Anthony Lambert Jr. He was 21 and lived in Birmingham.

Multiple shots rang out about 4:20 p.m. Thursday in the 5700 block of Court I in Ensley. That is off Vinesville Road, near Fairfield and Miles College.

Shot Spotter alert authorities to shots fired and then police received a call reporting a person was unresponsive near the road, said Officer Truman Fitzgerald.

Lambert was found unresponsive in the front yard of a home in the 900 block of 58th Street. Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service pronounced him dead on the scene at 4:43 p.m.

Fitzgerald said some sort of argument took place between the victim and one or more suspects. The nature of the argument was not immediately known.

As detectives and officers were investigating, 911 dispatchers said of the police radio that a person of interest in the shooting wanted to surrender.

A relative of that person was talking with police at the scene, helping to coordinate that surrender, which happened a short time later.

No formal charges have yet been announced.

Fitzgerald said as many as 10 shots were fired. It wasn’t immediately clear if the there was an exchange of gunfire.

“The shots were fired in a residential neighborhood and we’re thankful no one else got struck by gunfire,’’ he said.

Witnesses told police there could more than shooter.

The victim is Birmingham’s 42nd homicide this year. Of those, four have been ruled justifiable and therefore aren’t deemed criminal.

In all of Jefferson County, there have been 61 homicides including the 42 in Birmingham.
