A man was shot to death inside his vehicle at a south Birmingham apartment complex.
South Precinct officers were dispatched shortly before 9:30 p.m. Friday to a report of a person shot in the 100 block of Penthouse Drive. That location is Mountainside Apartments off Valley Avenue.
Sgt. LaQuitta Wade said police arrived to find an adult male inside the vehicle with at least one gunshot wound. Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service pronounced him dead on the scene.
Wade said the victim was sitting in the vehicle when an unknown gunman fired multiple shots in the vehicle.
A motive has not been disclosed, and no arrests have been made.
The man is Birmingham’s 93rd homicide victim this year. Of those, eight have been ruled justifiable and therefore aren’t deemed criminal.
In all of Jefferson County, there have 117 homicides, including the 93 in Birmingham.
Anyone with information is asked to call homicide detectives at 205-254-1764 or Crime Stoppers at 205-254-7777.
