In the early morning of June 7, 2022, 25-year-old Domonique Deandre’ Williams was seated in a vehicle on the 1700 block of Avenue J in the Ensley neighborhood of Birmingham when the car was struck by more than two dozen bullets. The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office confirmed Williams died at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds. A second person in the vehicle was also shot but survived.

Investigators described the attack as targeted given the volume of fire; it resembled another shooting in the same area less than 24 hours earlier, heightening concerns about escalating violence in the neighborhood. Family and friends held a funeral service on June 22, 2022, at the Tabernacle of Faith Ministry. No suspects have been publicly identified or arrested in connection with the killing.

If anyone knew Domonique, witnessed the shooting, or has information that could help the investigation, please come forward to the authorities.
