A family dispute in North Birmingham turned deadly on the evening of Wednesday, November 19, 2025. Willie Rasean Raby, 32, was shot during a verbal argument with a family member and was taken to UAB Hospital, where he later died of his injuries.

The family member left the scene after the shooting but surrendered to authorities the next day, Thursday. The Birmingham Police Department’s initial investigation identified that relative as the person who fired the shot. The Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office reviewed the evidence and determined the shooting to be a justifiable homicide, so no criminal charges were filed.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who saw the events in that North Birmingham neighborhood on November 19 who can add details about what happened?
