A man was killed in a hail of gunfire outside his family home in Birmingham’s Norwood community.

The gunfire rang out at 9:51 p.m. Thursday in the 1400 block of 33rd Street North.

Police were dispatched to the neighborhood on a report of shots fired, said Officer Truman Fitzgerald.

When they arrived on the scene, they found the victim inside his bullet-riddled vehicle. The victim was unresponsive and pronounced dead on the scene by Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service.

The victim’s name has not yet been released.

Family members, as well as other neighborhood residents, heard the shots ring out.

“They believed their loved one was possibly shot,’’ Fitzgerald said. “They went outside and discovered that their loved one was shot.”

A woman stood outside the crime scene crying, “They killed my baby in front of my home,’’ and “they killed him in cold blood.”

Another bystander said the victim was just arriving home from work.

Police marked at least a dozen shell casing in the roadway where the vehicle was stopped.

“We believe just from speaking to our officer tonight and our detectives that this individual was targeted,’’ he said.

Fitzgerald said a suspect has not yet been identified.

Investigators will canvass the area for witnesses, and possible home security camera footage.

The victim is Bimingham’s 43rd homicide so far this year. Of those, one was an officer-involved shooting by an outside agency and three others have been ruled justifiable.

In all of Jefferson County, there have been 58 homicides, including the 43 in Birmingham.
