Brittney Taylor Brewer, 33, and her husband Teddy Edward Lee Jr. were shot dead while sitting in their vehicle on the 4900 block of 41st Street North in Birmingham on the evening of February 13, 2025. Both were found unresponsive in the car with fatal gunshot wounds; family and friends remembered them as a couple who shared a close bond and young children.

Within hours investigators identified a person of interest and arrested 43-year-old Demetrius Walton, who was charged with capital murder. Court testimony at a preliminary hearing introduced possible motives: testimony suggested a drug transaction that went wrong and a prior dispute between Lee and Walton over a dog. Evidence recovered at the scene included crystal methamphetamine, ammunition, and cash, and Walton’s vehicle was reported leaving the area after the shots were heard. The case was sent to a grand jury for possible indictment.

Did anyone in Birmingham know Brittney and Teddy or have information about the events that night?
