Calvin De’onte Vance Jr. was an 18-year-old Black man from Birmingham who died August 19, 2019, after a shooting in the Wylam neighborhood. Police and medics were called to 10th Avenue North and Gulfport Street about 8:40 p.m.; officers found him in the street with an apparent gunshot wound and he was pronounced dead at the scene. Early reports said no one was in custody and detectives were still piecing together what happened.

Months later the Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office reviewed the investigation and concluded the shooting was justifiable, with authorities saying the evidence presented supported a finding that Vance was shot while attempting to commit a robbery. No warrants were pursued and there were no arrests or homicide charges. Visitation was held August 23, 2019, with a funeral August 24 and burial at Carver Cemetery.

Does anyone have information about that night in Wylam or remember seeing activity around 10th Avenue North and Gulfport Street on August 19, 2019?
