Deunte Jurrell Winston was 23 when he was found unresponsive from a gunshot wound on a porch in the 4300 block of 44th Avenue North in Birmingham’s Inglenook community on the morning of May 25, 2023. Officers arrived after a call around 9:35 a.m.; he was taken to UAB Hospital and pronounced dead.

Investigators reported a dispute with another male shortly before the shooting. According to police, that man fired at Winston and then fled the scene. No arrest was announced immediately, and authorities asked the public for information. On June 6, 2023, a 17-year-old male was taken into custody and charged with Winston’s murder; his identity was not released because he is a juvenile.

Anyone who knew Winston or witnessed the events that morning is asked to come forward with information.
