Courtney Demond Hughley, a 44-year-old Black man, was found fatally shot on the 800 block of Eighth Avenue West in the Titusville neighborhood of Birmingham shortly after 11 p.m. on Friday, September 9, 2022. Birmingham Police Department West Precinct officers responded to a report of a person shot and Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service personnel pronounced him deceased at the scene.

Investigators say the preliminary inquiry points to a domestic dispute that escalated and that the shooting was not random, with Mr. Hughley believed to have been the intended target. The killing occurred during a violent weekend in Jefferson County when five men were killed in separate incidents across three cities.

No arrests have been publicly announced. If anyone has information that could help the Birmingham Police Department’s investigation into Courtney Demond Hughley’s death, please come forward.
