A late-night drive-by shooting in the Collegeville public housing community ended the life of 17-year-old Huffman High School student Lorenzo Davis Jr. on July 31, 2025. The shooting happened around 11:30 p.m. in the 2900 block of 29th Avenue North; first responders found Davis unresponsive inside an apartment and he was pronounced dead at the scene at 11:50 p.m.

Authorities arrested two men, 21-year-old Edjuan Figguers and 22-year-old Deleon Hawkins, and charged them with capital murder in connection with the case. Investigators say a prior argument may have provided a motive. Lorenzo’s death was recorded as the 47th homicide in Birmingham for 2025 and came less than a week after another 17-year-old was killed in the city.

An obituary gives his full name as Lorenzo Antonio Davis, Jr., and lists a graveside service for Friday, August 15, 2025, at Zion Memorial Gardens. Does anyone in the Birmingham area have information about Lorenzo, his routine, or that night in Collegeville?
