On January 20, 2021, 21-year-old Eusi Malik Kater Jr. was shot and killed by Birmingham police after an exchange of gunfire. Officers from the south precinct responded to reports of shots fired about 2 p.m. and encountered Kater, who fled on foot. During a subsequent pursuit, Kater reportedly fired several times at officers, then climbed onto a porch and fired again. Officers returned fire and struck Kater; he was taken to a hospital where he died. No officers were injured and a handgun was recovered at the scene. Kater had been released from prison in 2020 following a 2018 conviction for unlawfully breaking and entering a vehicle. The Alabama State Bureau of Investigation was assigned to review the officer-involved shooting.

Did anyone in the neighborhood witness the chase or the moments on the porch and have details to add?
