Nathaniel Ladell Young Jr., 23, was fatally shot just after 2:00 a.m. on January 1, 2025, near the intersection of Greymont Avenue and Center Street in Birmingham. Responding officers found two people with gunshot wounds; Young was taken to UAB Hospital and died of his injuries. The other victim suffered serious wounds and remains part of the case’s charges.

Two men have been arrested and charged in connection with the shooting. Thirty-year-old Cornelius Dontae Houston was the first to be taken into custody. A second suspect, 22-year-old Armarious Anderson, was also arrested; Anderson faces capital murder charges plus three counts of attempted murder, including for the injuries to the second victim. An officer on patrol to deter celebratory gunfire heard the shots, tried to intercept a fleeing vehicle, and was allegedly fired upon by Anderson; the officer returned fire and was not injured.

Both Houston and Anderson are being held without bond at the Jefferson County Jail. Does anyone have information about the shooting or the events around Greymont Avenue and Center Street that night?
