Authorities have released the name of a man fatally shot outside his Ensley home Friday night.

Birmingham police on Saturday identified the victim as Kerry Terrell Primm. He was 30.

The shooting happened just after 7 p.m. in the 1800 block of 31st Street in the Ensley Highlands community.

Sgt. LaQuitta Wade said West Precinct officers were dispatched to the neighborhood on a report of a person down. When they arrived, they found Primm unresponsive in front of a home there.

He was pronounced dead by Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service.

Wade said the victim had just exited his home to speak with another family member. It was then the unidentified suspect pulled up to the house in a vehicle.

“The victim and the suspect exchanged words,’’ Wade said. “The suspect shot the victim and left the scene.”

No arrests have been made.

The deadly shooting was the city’s second homicide Friday.

That victim has not yet been identified.
