A man was shot to death Sunday afternoon while he was sitting inside an SUV in north Birmingham.

Just after 2:30 p.m., North Precinct officers received a call of a person shot in the 900 block of Center Street North.

Police arrived to find a gray SUV in the 10 block of 9th Avenue West, which is walking distance from the original location, Officer Truman Fitzgerald said. The location was near the entrance of a small apartment building.

The victim was unresponsive in the driver’s seat. Birmingham firefighters attempted life-saving measures on the scene and then rushed him to UAB Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Fitzgerald said it appears a man on foot approached the SUV and opened fire. He then fled.

Detectives working with the Real Time Crime Center search for clues in the area.

“This happened in broad daylight on a Sunday and we’re urging the public if you saw anything to please contact Crime Stoppers,” Fitzgerald said.

The victim is Birmingham’s 43rd homicide this year. In all of Jefferson County, there have been 67 homicides, including the 43 in Birmingham.

Anyone with information is asked to call 205-254-1764 or contact Crime Stoppers at 205-254-7777.
