Earnest LaDarrius Moody Jr. was a 33-year-old Black man from Birmingham, Alabama, known to some as Stank and a former student of Woodrow Wilson Elementary School. His life ended in a fatal shooting during the pre-dawn hours of Thursday, June 10, 2021.

At about 1:30 a.m. on 14th Avenue North, shots were fired from a vehicle. Moody was struck and later died of his injuries. The Birmingham Police Department opened a homicide investigation and, later that same day, a 24-year-old man identified as Deandre Brantley surrendered to authorities. Brantley was booked into the Jefferson County Jail just after 6:00 p.m. and charged with capital murder; as of June 2021 he remained in custody awaiting legal proceedings.

If anyone has information about Moody, his movements that night, or the events on 14th Avenue North, please come forward to assist the investigation.
