Man found shot to death in Birmingham; investigation underway
An investigation is underway after a man was found shot to death Wednesday morning in west Birmingham.
West Precinct officers were dispatched just after 6:30 a.m. to a report of a person down in the 2900 block of Avenue F.
The man was found unresponsive and pronounced dead on the scene by Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service, said Officer Truman Fitzgerald.
The death initially appeared unclassified, but once the Jefferson County Coroner’s Office arrived on the scene, they determined he had been shot.
The victim has not yet been identified.
He is the city’s 108th homicide this year. Of those, eight have been ruled justified and two others happened in previous years, but the victims died in 2024.
In all of Jefferson County, there have been 135 homicides including the 108 in Birmingham.
Anyone with information is asked to call Birmingham detectives at 205-254-1764 or Crime Stoppers at 205-254-7777.
