A 28-year-old suspect is charged in the slaying of a man gunned down in a massive shootout at a downtown Birmingham intersection.

Montez Malik Ollison, of Fultondale, is charged with capital murder in the July 4 killing of 45-year-old Dietrich Lamont Boone Sr.

Ollison was booked into the Jefferson County Jail about 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday. He remains held without bond.

Boone was killed in a hail of gunfire about 2:15 p.m. that Thursday at 25th Street and Seventh Avenue North.

That intersection is in the middle of an area including Park Place Apartments, Marconi Park, and the Jones Valley Teaching Farm.

North Precinct officers responded to a call of a person shot. When they arrived, they found a gray Chrysler 300 that had crashed into a tree and a utility pole.

Boone was found about 15 yards away in a grassy are outside of an apartment building. He was rushed to UAB Hospital where he was pronounced dead at 2:36 p.m.

Officer Truman Fitzgerald said at the time that investigators believed a shootout happened at the intersection. The victim, he said, was targeted.

Crime scene investigators placed more than 50 evidence marks along Seventh Avenue North.

Evidence markers don’t necessarily indicate just one shell casing – a marker can be used to mark multiple shell casings in one spot.

“We have at least 50 shell casings near where kids play, families gather all the time,’’ Fitzgerald said that day. “Anytime you have this many rounds being fired, we are extremely lucky no one else was hit.”

A woman who posted a Facebook Live video of the aftermath reported seeing at least one of the shooters – wearing a ski mask – hanging out a window firing the gun. It appears the victim was able to return fire before he collapsed.

A gun was found near the victim.

Boone had posted a Facebook story shortly before the shooting, showing him in that area. A gun was seen in his video.

Boone’s son, Dietrich Lamont Boone Jr., was fatally stabbed in 2018 during a dispute over a woman. The suspect in that case was acquitted.
