Antonio Jermell Jackson, 23, was found with a gunshot wound inside a residence in the Southtown housing community in Birmingham on the night of July 15, 2020. He was taken to UAB Hospital and pronounced dead on July 16, 2020. The Birmingham Police Department opened a homicide investigation into the shooting.

Investigators developed a person of interest and identified Ronald LaVance Steen of Birmingham after he was apprehended in Shelby County on unrelated drug charges. Detectives obtained a capital murder warrant for Steen and planned to transfer him to the Jefferson County Jail to face that charge once his Shelby County matter was resolved. The death left Jackson’s family grieving and the community seeking answers.

If anyone has information about Jackson that could help the investigation, please come forward.
