Christian Deon Raspberry, 20, was shot and killed on Sunday, October 10, 2021, in Birmingham’s Inglenook neighborhood. Officers responded about 5:15 p.m. to the 4000 block of 41st Avenue North after a report of a person shot and found a vehicle riddled with bullets. Raspberry was inside the car with multiple gunshot wounds; Birmingham Fire and Rescue transported him to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Investigators say evidence at the scene indicates the gunfire came from another vehicle that pulled alongside Raspberry’s car, and the shooting does not appear to have been random. No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced. The motive remains unclear.

Anyone with information about the shooting or who saw vehicles or people in the area around 5:15 p.m. on October 10, 2021, is asked to contact the Birmingham Police Department.
