Gunfire rang out in a Birmingham neighborhood Friday night, killing one person and injuring three others.
The shooting happened at 10:08 p.m. in the 900 block of 47th Street North. That area is known as Baby Kingston.
It is the city’s third homicide since Wednesday.
Birmingham police early Saturday identified the slain man as Roshode Darnell Davidson. He was 36.
Officer Truman Fitzgerald said South Precinct officers responded to the neighborhood on a report of multiple people shot.
When they arrived, they found a woman and three men – all adults – injured.
Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service transported all of the victims to UAB Hospital.
Davidson was pronounced dead shortly after his arrival at the hospital, Fitzgerald said. The other two men are expected to survive their injuries.
The woman was initially thought to be shot, but medical workers determined that while she was injured, it was not from gunfire. She, too, is expected to be OK.
Fitzgerald said a group of people were gathered outside at a small apartment complex for a birthday party when the assailant – who has not been identified – approached the party and opened fire.
Investigators estimate at least 20 shots were fired.
