On the morning of Sunday, March 10, 2024, 30-year-old Derrick Devell Keith II was fatally shot inside an apartment at 2344 7th Way Northwest in Birmingham. Police arrived about 8:57 a.m. and found Keith with a gunshot wound; medical first responders pronounced him dead at the scene.

Investigators say the shooting grew out of a domestic argument between acquaintances. Authorities have identified and questioned a person of interest, an acquaintance who is cooperating with the investigation, but no name has been released and it is unclear whether charges will be filed. Officials have not disclosed the specific events that led to the shooting.

Anyone with information about what happened inside the apartment or who knew Keith and the people involved is asked to come forward.
