Michael David Lyle was 45 when he was killed inside The Quest nightclub in Birmingham, Alabama, during the early morning hours of Labor Day, September 5, 2022. A verbal dispute between two other patrons escalated into gunfire; Lyle was struck by a stray bullet and died at the scene. Another man involved in the initial dispute was critically wounded and taken to a local hospital.

A person of interest contacted Jefferson County 911 to surrender and was taken into custody for questioning. Authorities said they did not believe the shooting was a hate crime but the result of a heated argument. The Birmingham Police Department has kept the investigation open, and no public details have been released about charges or additional suspects.

If anyone was at The Quest that night or has information about the altercation and who fired the shots, please share what is known with investigators.
