Cheri Lashunda Twilley, a 47-year-old Black woman and mother of six, was fatally shot following a confrontation at a Birmingham convenience store on the evening of December 16, 2019. After the dispute, Twilley and her son were stopped at a stop sign in the 1600 block of Tuscaloosa Avenue when a suspect fired into their vehicle around 7:45 p.m. Both Cheri and her 31-year-old son Brandon were struck; they were taken to Princeton Hospital, where Cheri died and her son was treated and expected to recover.

Birmingham police identified 26-year-old Adam Isom as the suspect and obtained warrants charging him with capital murder, attempted murder, and discharging a firearm into an occupied vehicle. A search of Isom’s home reportedly turned up multiple weapons, and authorities warned he should be considered armed and dangerous. As of late December 2019, law enforcement was actively searching for him.

If anyone saw the shooting or has information about Adam Isom’s whereabouts at the time, please contact the Birmingham police.
