On the evening of November 11, 2023, 17-year-old Adonnis Xavier Bishop McQueen was found unresponsive in the roadway on the 400 block of Cheri Lane in Birmingham after a Person Down call. Officers and Birmingham Fire and Rescue responded at 9:11 p.m.; McQueen had sustained a gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene.

His death was mourned across the school and community, and Birmingham City Schools noted he was their 18th student lost to gun violence in a two-year period.
