On the evening of Thursday, February 13, 2025, Teddy Edward Lee Jr., 34, and his girlfriend Brittany Taylor Brewer, 33, were found dead from multiple gunshot wounds inside their car on 41st Street North in the Inglenook neighborhood of Birmingham. First responders pronounced both victims dead at the scene just after 7:30 p.m.

Within hours the Birmingham Police Department’s Crime Reduction Team identified and arrested 43-year-old Demetrius Walton, taken into custody early the following morning near the scene. Walton was charged with capital murder and held without bond at the Jefferson County Jail. At a preliminary hearing, testimony suggested the shooting might have been connected to a planned drug transaction; investigators recovered crystal meth, ammunition, and cash at the scene. Witnesses said a silver Land Rover, matching Walton’s vehicle, was seen leaving after shots were heard, and prior disputes between Lee and Walton over a dog were reported.

The case was sent to a grand jury after defense counsel argued the evidence was insufficient. Does anyone have information about the events on 41st Street North that night or the people involved?
