In the early hours of August 12, 2025, a burst of gunfire on Graymont Avenue North in Birmingham, Alabama, killed 26-year-old Quindarius Marteze Allen. Allen was sitting inside a car around 12:30 a.m. when he was struck; another person in the vehicle was wounded. The Birmingham Police Department opened a homicide investigation into the shooting.

Investigators identified multiple suspects. In late August a 20-year-old, Dorian Thally, was arrested and charged with capital murder and attempted murder and held in the Jefferson County Jail without bond. In mid-September U.S. Marshals arrested Wyatt Ascu in Bessemer on the same charges, and a third person was also taken into custody; all three suspects are being held without bond as they await legal proceedings.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or has information about what happened that night, please share tips with the Birmingham Police Department.
