Devin Dewayne Williams, a 38-year-old Black man from Birmingham, Alabama, was shot and killed on the afternoon of April 14, 2020 along the 4700 block of 2nd Avenue South in the East Avondale area. Police were called about 4:26–4:30 p.m. and found Williams lying unresponsive in the roadway with a gunshot wound; Birmingham Fire and Rescue and the Jefferson County coroner responded and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators reported the incident began as an argument between Williams and another man that turned physical. Detectives said a third person arrived and fired multiple shots, striking Williams; both the man who had fought with Williams and the shooter fled in unknown vehicles. Within a day authorities announced a major development: a murder warrant was obtained for Eddie Madison, and on April 15, 2020 he was taken into custody with assistance from the U.S. Marshals Service Gulf Coast Regional Fugitive Task Force and booked into the Jefferson County Jail with bond set at $100,000.

Does anyone have information about the altercation or saw vehicles leaving the 4700 block of 2nd Avenue South that afternoon?
