Man indicted in 2022 death of teen bystander fatally struck while watching Birmingham street race
A young Birmingham man has been indicted in the 2022 death of a 14-year-old who was fatally struck while watching a street race on the city’s west side.
A Jefferson County grand jury in September issued indictments for manslaughter and leaving the scene of an accident with injury or death against Zenardo LeGrant Marshall Jr., 20. The indictments were made public Wednesday.
Marshall was initially arrested by Birmingham police earlier this year – in January – and released on $30,000 bond.
Killed in the hit-and-run was Kamari DeShaun Adams.
The crash happened at 12:15 a.m. Sunday, July 24, 2022, on Bessemer Road at Avenue R.
According to the Jefferson County Coroner’s Office, Kamari was a pedestrian struck by one of two vehicles that were racing on Bessemer Road.
Kamari was pronounced dead on the scene at 12:30 a.m.
The indictment against Marshall states he was driving a vehicle in excess of posted speed limits.
A trial date has not been set.
