Corry DeWayne Fowler, 43, was shot in the 1500 block of Charter East Circle at the Pineview Point Apartments in Center Point (near Birmingham) on Sunday, June 28, 2015. About 5:15 p.m. gunfire erupted; someone close to Fowler rushed him to a convenience store on Old Springville Road where paramedics met him and transported him to the hospital. Doctors later pronounced him dead at UAB and investigators treated the case as a homicide.

Residents said this was the second shooting in the same building within roughly 48 hours, and neighbors reported that Fowler, described as a father of five, may have been shot after stepping into a dispute while trying to stop an argument. Authorities did not name a suspect or announce any arrest in the contemporaneous coverage. Funeral arrangements were held July 11, 2015, at St. James Baptist Church with burial at Carver Memorial Cemetery.

Did anyone in the area see what happened that afternoon or have information about who fired the shots?
