Derrick Dewayne King, 31, was shot dead after a verbal dispute on March 1, 2013, in Birmingham, Alabama. He was found on the grass in the 500 block of 10th Court North with a gunshot wound; officers from the North Precinct responded to a report of a person shot around 3 p.m. and discovered him there.

Police investigations led to the same-day arrest of a man who had been released from prison in November 2012 and who carried a prior conviction for a 2005 homicide. Officials described the arrest as a swift development in the case that had begun to unfold that afternoon. The confrontation ended with King’s death and has clearly been devastating for his family and friends.

If anyone in Birmingham remembers the area or witnessed the incident on March 1, 2013, or has information that could help, please come forward.
