Jamycah Ramone Frazier Turner, a 12-year-old African American boy, was fatally wounded on Christmas Eve 2023 in Birmingham’s Ensley neighborhood. First responders found him in an alley with a gunshot wound to the chest; he was taken to Children’s of Alabama and pronounced dead the same day. The Jefferson County Coroner later identified him.

Birmingham Police preliminaries describe the shooting as an accidental, self-inflicted discharge while Jamycah was visiting with friends and family and handling a firearm. The homicide unit is investigating and will present findings to the Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office; no arrests have been reported.
