On the evening of Saturday, June 5, 2021, gunfire erupted at a Circle K gas station near Roebuck Plaza in Birmingham, Alabama. Two men were killed: Rikki D’Unri Christopher Bynum, 27, and his longtime friend Joseph Demetrice Robinson, 25. The shooting happened in the parking lot and was described by authorities as a targeted attack tied to an ongoing dispute. A one-year-old child who was with Robinson was at the scene and was not physically harmed. A third man, Corey Lamont Glover Jr., was wounded and survived.

Birmingham Police officers from the East Precinct responded after hearing multiple shots and found the victims. Witnesses helped identify a suspect, leading to the arrest of Antonio Shaw in the 9100 block of Parkway East and the recovery of a weapon. Surveillance footage from the gas station reportedly captured the incident. Anyone with information about Rikki Bynam or that night’s events is asked to come forward.
