Brionn Arronjaae Orr, a 25-year-old Black man from Birmingham remembered as warm, funny, and family-oriented, was shot and killed on April 8, 2026, in the Kingston community. The shooting occurred on Roscoe Avenue after an argument that escalated into a physical confrontation; Brionn was taken to a nearby hospital and later died of his injuries.

Brionn had worked at J. Wings for eight years and was described by coworkers as part of the family. In the days after the shooting the Birmingham Police Department arrested 27-year-old Darius Woods and charged him with Brionn’s murder. Brionn’s mother, Syreeta Orr, set up a GoFundMe to help with funeral and burial expenses. A candlelight vigil and balloon release were held, and funeral services took place on April 17, 2026, at Faith Memorial Chapel in Bessemer.

If anyone in Kingston or on Roscoe Avenue on April 8 witnessed the argument or the shooting, please share what you know.
