A suspect was taken into custody Thursday morning in the July shooting death of a man near where a dice game was taking place.

Edrick Hagler, 31, is charged with murder in the slaying of 30-year-old Kameron Connell, Birmingham police announced Thursday.

Hagler was booked into the Jefferson County Jail at 12:41 p.m. He was arrested by the police department’s Crime Reduction Teams.

He is being held without bond. He also had a failure to appear warrant on an attempted murder charge, jail records show.

East Precinct officers were dispatched just after 8 p.m. Monday, July 1, on a report of a person shot in the parking lot of an apartment building in the 7700 block of First Avenue South.

Officers arrived to find Connell unresponsive.

Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service rushed the victim to UAB Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 8:37 p.m.

Officer Truman Fitzgerald said Connell was found near where people were hanging out and shooting dice.

“We don’t know if the shooting is connected to the dice game,’’ Fitzgerald said at the time. “However, we can point out when our officers observed the victim he was in an area where dice is still on the ground.”

A motive has not been disclosed.

Connell’s brother, Keleen Connell, was shot to death by Birmingham police on Feb. 23, 2022. Another brother, Kerry Connell, 18, was fatally shot in 2011 in the parking lot of a convenience store at 36 South Park Road.
