A search is underway for a man charged in the armed robberies of dozens of Hispanic victims in Birmingham.

Jakobie Deontay Smith, 20, is charged with at least 32 counts of first-degree robbery.

Birmingham police spokesman Officer Truman Fitzgerald described Smith as armed and dangerous.

Smith was charged with capital murder in the high-profile Dec. 14, 2021, slayings of brothers Lorenzo Cole, 23, and Cortney Woods, 22, but those charges were dismissed last year.

A judge ruled there was “no probable cause exists to believe that the defendant committed the charged crime.”

Investigators in November charged Evontay Blevins, 19, with 32 counts of first-degree robbery. They withheld announcing his arrest while they tried to find Smith.

Blevins remains held in the Jefferson County on bonds totaling more than $2 million.

Police in late October announced more than 40 Hispanic victims had been targeted that month, with at least six people robbed in five different incidents in less than four hours on one day.

“It’s extremely alarming because we know this group is not going to stop until we stop them,’’ Fitzgerald said at the time. “They’ve shown no signs that they’re going to stop.”

The victims included families and workers at construction sites and other businesses.

No serious injuries were reported, but Fitzgerald said it appears the holdups are well thought out, planned in advance.

“It’s sad this group is targeting individuals they know are vulnerable,’’ he said in October.

Anyone with information on Smith’s whereabouts is asked to call 911 or Crime Stoppers at 205-254-7777.
