Authorities have released the name of a man who was shot to death by a Hueytown homeowner.

The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office identified the slain man as Contravia Lamond Jackson. He was 43 and lived in Birmingham.

Hueytown police were dispatched at 2 a.m. Monday to a home in the 200 block of June Avenue on a report of a person shot.

Officers arrived to find Jackson shot in the front seat of a vehicle. He was pronounced dead on the scene at 2:30 a.m.

Police said the initial investigation indicates the sister of the resident of the home arrived at the house with Jackson and another man. Jackson brandished a gun and was shot by the homeowner.
