Birmingham man dies 8 days after parking lot shooting at Woodlawn Chevron
A man shot at a Woodlawn gas station more than a week ago has died.
The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office identified the victim as Marcello Hopson of Birmingham. He was 43.
The gunfire rang out at 10:06 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 22.
Hopson was in a vehicle at the Woodlawn Chevron when someone opened fire on him. Police marked multiple shell casings in the parking lot of the convenience store.
Hopson was taken to UAB Hospital where he was pronounced dead on Sunday, Oct. 30.
Police have not announced any arrests or a motive in the slaying.
Hopson is Birmingham’s 124th homicide in the city this year. Of those, seven have been ruled justifiable and therefore aren’t deemed criminal.
In all of Jefferson County there have been 167 homicides, including the 124 in Birmingham.
