Artez McGowan was 21 when he died in a drive-by shooting in the Pratt City neighborhood of Birmingham, Alabama, on the evening of Sunday, August 29, 2021. He was driving on U.S. Steel Road when another car pulled alongside, an occupant opened fire, and McGowan was struck. His vehicle ran off the road and stopped; he was taken to a nearby hospital and later pronounced dead.

The Birmingham Police Department treated the case as a homicide and identified a 17-year-old male suspect. Because of his age, the suspect’s name was not released publicly; he was charged with capital murder and the case was forwarded to the Jefferson County court system.
