A teen has been arrested in the March shooting death of a 43-year-old man in a Birmingham field.

Jaiden Joel Davis, 19, is charged with murder in the slaying of Jerry Edward Lewis Jr.

The shots rang out just before 5 p.m. Monday, March 11, in the 100 block of First Avenue S.W. in the Titusville community.

Sgt. LaQuitta Wade said officers arrived on the scene to find Lewis unresponsive outside a shed in a small field where people are known to gather.

Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service pronounced him dead on the scene. No one else was injured.

Lewis was talking with other people when the shooter, wearing a ski mask, approached them on foot and fired multiple shots.

At least a handful of shell casings were marked as evidence.

The shooter then fled the scene.

Birmingham police Chief Scott Thurmond previously said Lewis “was most likely” at that location to buy drugs.

“Detectives believe the location was targeted by the suspects due to the narcotics sales at this location,’’ Thurmond said.

Davis was booked into the Jefferson County Jail at 12:35 p.m. Thursday. He remains held without bond.
