DeAnthony Samuels was 21 when he was fatally shot in downtown Birmingham in December 2022. Reports give the shooting date as either Monday, December 19 or Tuesday, December 20. Some accounts place the incident in an apartment unit where Samuels was visiting with friends; two other people were wounded and survived.

His death came amid a cluster of homicides in Birmingham in the days before Christmas, a pattern officials publicly noted as part of a record number of killings that year. No arrests or suspect identifications have been publicly reported and the investigation remains open.
