Sixth suspect charged with Damien McDaniel in Birmingham homicide night after 5 Points South mass shooting
A sixth person has been charged in the ambush killing of a 32-year-old Birmingham man during the theft of his backpack.
Crishawn Ja’mel McLemore-Bruce, a 23-year-old Pleasant Grove man, joins accused mass killer Damien McDaniel and five others charged in the shooting death of Jamarcus McIntyre, according to court records made public Tuesday.
McLemore-Bruce is also charged with three counts of attempted murder in the same incident in which two other people were wounded and a third person who was shot at but not injured.
A Jefferson County grand jury indicted McLemore-Bruce in November, and he was taken into custody on Feb. 20.
The others charged alongside McLemore-Bruce and McDaniel are: Larry Rollins, 32; Ny’Quan Lollar, 22; Demarco Beck Jr., 29; and Zachary Holmes, 31.
Birmingham police earlier today against new charges against McDaniel in three shooting deaths, naming him the suspect in 14 killings and the wounding of 30 others, in a span of 14 months.
McIntyre’s killing, which happened the day after the mass shooting at Hush lounge in Five Points South, was caught on home surveillance video.
Authorities say the suspects waited roughly two hours outside the residence until McIntyre was gunned down.

Just before 9:30 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 22, the city’s gunfire detection system – Shot Spotter – alerted officers to shots fired in the South East Lake community, specifically the 700 block of 81st Place South.
Shot Spotter registered at least 30 rounds fired, and there were multiple evidence markers placed in the middle of 81st Place South.
Once on the scene, they found McIntyre unresponsive on the sidewalk. Two others were also wounded, including a woman who, too, was found unresponsive but survived.
Jefferson County prosecutors contend in court documents that McDaniel and Lollar were among three shooters who opened fire on McIntyre in the horrific ambush that was captured on home surveillance video.
Investigators have not yet been able to identify the third shooter.
Prosecutors say McDaniel, Lollar and the third man sat in a parked vehicle in front of the house in the 700 block of 81st Place South that Sunday night, waiting to kill Mcintyre, who they had targeted.
Holmes, according to court records, was inside the house with McIntyre feeding information to the other suspects, including Rollins and Beck who were not at the actual scene.
The shooters remained in the car until McIntrye exited the house and was immediately killed.

Multiple, and simultaneous, conversations were taking place in the hours leading up to McIntyre’s slaying.
Holmes texted Beck the exact address and described McIntyre. “White tee black shirt black book bag black hat only mf with a hat on.”
Rollins then allegedly relayed the address to McDaniel, accompanied by two photos of McIntyre.
McDaniel, at one point, told Rollins that a neighbor kept going outside and looking.
“Where bout? Send a pic” Rollins texted McDaniel, who sent Rollins and Beck a photo of the house across the street from where the killing took place.
Shortly before 9 p.m., McDaniel, in a text to Beck and Rollins said, “I’m finna run in det hoe.”
He was told the doors were locked and replied, “I got sum to open em.” He also texted, “I’ll set the bitch on fire bet they kum out den.”
He then texted Beck and Rollins, “I’m jst talk shit doe I’m swatting.’”
Rollins “hearted” McDaniel’s text and Beck “laughed” at the text.
Records also show multiple phone and Facetime calls – both incoming and outgoing – logged on Rollins’ phone leading up to the 9:18 p.m. shooting.
All of the suspects remain held without bond.
