On the afternoon of October 6, 2022, 23-year-old Calvin Maurice Chambers, a Black man from Birmingham, was fatally shot at the Charter East Apartments in Center Point, Alabama. Jefferson County Sheriff’s deputies responding to calls about the shooting arrived at about 4:38 p.m. and found Chambers deceased at the scene.

Surveillance footage helped investigators identify a vehicle believed to be involved. Deputies pursued and stopped that vehicle, taking five people into custody without injury. Eighteen-year-old William Ayala Torres was charged with capital murder in connection with Chambers’s death; bond was set at $106,000. Four others were arrested on drug-possession charges: one 20-year-old male on felony first-degree marijuana possession and two men and one woman on misdemeanor second-degree marijuana possession.

Calvin Maurice Chambers, born April 23, 1999, was remembered by family as friendly, helpful, and someone who could make people smile. Funeral services were held October 22, 2022, followed by his burial. Does anyone have information about Calvin or the events that afternoon that could help clarify what happened?
