Caleb Cornandus Whitt was 17 and a high school senior when he was killed on March 26, 2023, in the Titusville neighborhood of Birmingham, Alabama. He was a passenger in a vehicle whose occupants, according to the Birmingham Police Chief, were shooting into a residence. Someone inside that home returned fire and Whitt was hit.

Whitt was carrying a firearm and participating in the exchange, and after he was wounded his companions drove him to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. Investigators identified the person who fired the fatal shot, and authorities ruled the shooter’s actions to be self-defense; no arrests or criminal charges related to Whitt’s death were pursued.

Does anyone have information about the events that led to the March 26 confrontation or knew Caleb and the people involved?
