A violent weekend in Birmingham left 11 people shot in five different incidents throughout the city. Two of those victims died, and two others are fighting for their lives.
“Three shooting incidents were responded to and investigated by South Precinct patrol officers from the same shift,” according to a statement released by BPD Monday morning.
The weekend bloodshed began Friday night when someone opened fire on the outdoor birthday gathering in the 900 block of 47th Street North, an area known as Baby Kingston.Roshode Darnell Davidson, 36, and two other men were wounded. A woman was also thought to be shot, but authorities later determined her injuries were not from the gunfire.
First responders arrived to find a male shot and a female grazed by a bullet outside Tin Roof. Both were transported to UAB Hospital. The male sustained life-threatening injuries. Just hours later, police responded to a call of shots fired in the parking garage of an upscale Southside apartment building.
Fitzgerald said investigators believe a confrontation took place inside the parking garage between Wyatt and the unknown suspect.
