Timothy Wayne Worsham III, a 22-year-old Black man, was killed on December 5, 2022, in Birmingham, Alabama after being struck by gunfire during a daytime shootout in the 700 block of Springville Road. He was driving his personal vehicle when occupants of two other vehicles exchanged gunfire; authorities say Worsham was not an intended target and was an innocent victim caught in the crossfire.

Birmingham police who were already in the area heard the shots and located a stolen Hyundai that had been involved. A pursuit ended when that vehicle crashed into another car. Two occupants of the stolen Hyundai, identified as 19-year-old Martelus Rarsheen Brody and 19-year-old Ja’Mari Deon Hyche, were arrested and later charged with capital murder in connection with Worsham’s death. A third person in the car was injured and taken to a hospital. Both Brody and Hyche were booked into the Jefferson County Jail and held without bond.

The investigation remains active as police continue to seek the other vehicle involved in the exchange of gunfire. Does anyone in the area have information about the shooting or the unidentified vehicle involved?
