On the morning of February 16, 2016, a domestic dispute in the 1600 block of Warrior Road in Birmingham, Alabama, ended with 27-year-old Charles Burchfield shot and killed. The argument between Burchfield and his girlfriend, 36-year-old Michelle Horn, reportedly concerned phone calls Burchfield had been receiving from an ex-girlfriend. Witnesses said Horn fired two shots, Burchfield threw bricks at her vehicle, and Horn fired a third shot that struck him in the body.

Officers from the West Precinct arrived about 11:45 a.m. and found Burchfield lying near the apartments; Birmingham Fire and Rescue pronounced him dead at the scene. Horn was taken into custody there and, on February 18, 2016, a capital murder warrant was announced and she was booked into the Birmingham City Jail pending transfer to the Jefferson County Jail.

Those who knew Burchfield remembered him as quiet but playful, a father of a son born February 23, 2009, educated in the Bessemer School System and a basketball enthusiast. Does anyone have information about the events that morning or knew Charles and can help clarify what happened?
