A massive amount of reward money offered for information in the deadly mass shooting in Birmingham’s Five Points South remains in place despite one arrest in the case.

The $100,000 reward – offered by Crime Stoppers of Metro Alabama and the FBI – is the largest in Crime Stoppers’ history.

So far, authorities said, no one has been designated to receive reward money in the Hush lounge shooting but it’s still early in the process and the investigation is ongoing

“Crime Stoppers received over 120 tips on this case. All tips were forwarded to detectives,’’ said Crime Stoppers Executive Director Bob Copus. “At this time, Birmingham police have not advised Crime Stoppers of the status of these tips in leading to this arrest.”

Birmingham police Chief Scott Thurmond said more than 300 tips were submitted either through Crime Stoppers or the department’s QR code which was established for information in the case.

“We’ve never had that many tips in any case before,’’ Thurmond said.

Birmingham police Sgt. LaQuitta Wade said because of the ongoing investigation, detectives are not yet sure who, if anyone, will be rewarded for submitted tips.

And, she said, because the probe continues, tips are still sought.

The largest reward prior to the one offered in the mass shooting was the $25,000 after the abduction of Kamille “Cupcake” McKinney. The 3-year-old was abducted from a birthday party in 2019 and later found murdered. Two people were arrested and convicted.

“It’s a life-changing reward,’’ said Crime Stoppers’ Board Chairman Frank Barefield said, “and you’re totally anonymous.”

The $50,000 FBI reward is for information that leads to an arrest and a conviction.

The $50,000 offered by Crime Stoppers is for information leading to the identity of the suspects and does not require a conviction.

Crime Stoppers’ board members, who are notified by police when a tip pans out, vote weekly on reward distributions.

Rewards are paid frequently and were distributed in both the investigations Cupcake McKinney’s death and Mahogany Jackson’s slaying.

When a tipster calls Crime Stoppers, or submits a tip through text or the app, they are assigned a unique ID number. Crime Stoppers and police never know any identifying information about the tipster.

A computer program generates the recommended amount of reward money based on the level of the crime and other variables. Once the board votes to issue the reward, the tipster is notified through their ID number – usually via the app – that he or she has a message.

They are then assigned a unique pickup number and are directed to a secure location to receive the cash reward. The person distributing the money has no idea it is for a Crime Stoppers reward.

“We don’t know who they are,’’ Copus said. “The person giving them the money doesn’t know who they are.”

“This is working and it’s working well,’’ Copus said.

Earlier this week, police announced the arrest of 22-year-old Damien Laron McDaniel III in the mass shooting.

He is charged with capital murder of two or more people in the Five Points South massacre that killed four people on Sept. 21 and with 17 counts of first-degree assault for those who were injured.

Killed were Carlos McCain, 27, Roderick Lynn Patterson Jr., 26, Anitra Holloman, 21, and Tahj Booker, 27. Seventeen others – believed to be innocent bystanders – suffered wounds ranging from superficial to critical.

Police say multiple gunmen unleashed more than 100 rounds – including automatic gunfire – on a long line of people waiting to get into Hush. Investigators quickly said that they believed the barrage of gunfire was a “hit” – a murder-for-hire targeting at least one of the men killed in the shooting.

McDaniel is also charged with murder in the Sept. 19 killing of Diontranet Tinae Brown, a 35-year-old mother who police say was an innocent bystander shot to death inside 604 Bar and Lounge on Ninth Street North.

He faces an additional capital murder charge in the robbery shooting death of 32-year-old Jamarcus McIntyre, who died in a hail of gunfire in the 700 block of 81st Place South less than 24 hours after the Five Points South shooting.

Additionally, McDaniel is charged with three counts of attempted murder in the Sept. 22 shooting that not only killed McIntyre but left two others wounded.

Police say all three homicide cases are linked but they have not publicly disclosed what connected the deaths.

Three other people have also been charged with capital murder in McIntyre’s slaying – Ny’Quan Cordae Lollar, 22, Larry Denzel Rollins, Jr., 31, and Demarco Nakia Beck Jr., 29.

Charging documents state McIntyre was killed while he was being robbed of a backpack and its contents.

In the Five Points South mass shooting, Thurmond said investigators are still working on the theory that the barrage of automatic gunfire was a “hit” — a murder-for-hire targeting at least one of the men killed in the shooting.

He said he won’t identify who police believe was the target, but two of the victims have been implicated in previous Birmingham killings.

“There could be multiple motives for the one individual we believe was targeted. Others could have been targeted,’’ Thurmond previously said. “We’re still looking into that.”

“Some of the individuals killed have extensive criminal histories and because of that, there’s often motivation from others, and there’s people willing to pay to have them killed,’’ the chief said.

Multiple agencies are assisting in the investigation including the FBI, ATF, DEA, Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office, the U.S. Attorney’s Office, U.S. Secret Service and the U.S. Marshals Service.

Thurmond said investigators have worked day and night since the killings nearly one month ago.

“We’ve got six people who lost their life not to mention 17 people who were injured in the mass shooting in 5 Points South entertainment district,’’ Thurmond said, adding that the impact and magnitude is “tremendous for our city, our community, our business owners, law enforcement The number of hours put into this investigation is astronomical.”

More charges are expected.

“Crime Stoppers of Metro Alabama was glad to hear that arrests are being made in this case,’’ Copus said. “Holding violent offenders accountable for their actions is a key component in creating a safe community.”
