A domestic shooting at a mobile home on Morgan Street in Trussville ended in death on December 18, 2024. Officers responding to a 12:55 p.m. call entered the residence and found 25-year-old Hispanic man Luis Enrique Herrera-Valenciana shot; he was pronounced dead. A woman inside suffered life-threatening gunshot wounds and was taken to UAB Hospital.

Forty-year-old Charles Richard Bryant of Trussville was located at the scene and taken into custody. Investigators described the incident as domestic in nature. On December 20, 2024, warrants charged Bryant with capital murder in the death of Herrera-Valenciana and attempted murder for the injured woman; he was booked into the Jefferson County Jail and held without bond. In March 2026 a Jefferson County grand jury returned an indictment alleging Bryant unlawfully entered the residence with intent to commit first-degree burglary and shot Herrera-Valenciana.
