Antonio Brooks II, a 20-year-old father of two, was killed by a stray bullet in Birmingham on June 20, 2017. He was driving with friends along Jefferson Avenue Southwest when the bullet struck his torso, causing him to lose control and crash; emergency responders found him unresponsive in the driver’s seat. Two passengers in his car were also wounded but survived.

The gunfire began during a family dispute involving two teenagers, 17-year-old DeMarcus Daniels and 16-year-old Xzavier McWillie, who were in a vehicle that fired shots at a father who had been following them. One of those bullets ultimately struck Brooks, who family described as hardworking, not involved in trouble, and raised in a supportive two-parent home. A police pursuit after the shooting ended when the suspects’ car collided with a patrol car, seriously injuring two officers. Daniels and McWillie were arrested and charged with capital murder, but those charges were later dismissed at prosecutors’ request; no new suspects or arrests have been reported and the case remains unsolved.

Did anyone in Birmingham know Antonio or have information about that June night?
