The deadly shooting marked the city’s third homicide of the day, the fourth since Friday evening and 101st so far this year.
Sgt. Monica Law said officers were dispatched to the 100 block of Third Avenue West, which is the Elyton Village public housing community, on a call of multiple people shot in the area. The police were notified by Shot Spotter, the city’s gunfire detection system, as well as 911 calls from community members.Once on the scene, officers found three men wounded in the alley. All three were taken by Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service to UAB Hospital.
One victim was pronounced dead shortly after arrival, Law said. A second victim was later pronounced dead, and the third is expected to be OK.Police radio communication indicated the shooters fled in a vehicle. “I’m born and raised here in Birmingham so it’s discouraging that this is continuing to happen in our city,’’ she said.
“There are lots of people in the area who may have captured things, may have posted them on social media,’’ Law said. “They can come to us with that. Crime Stoppers is accessible as well.”
