A young man is dead after police say nearly 50 shots rang out in a west Birmingham neighborhood Tuesday night.
The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office identified the victim as Ty’Keem Dishad Moore.
He was 22.
West Precinct officers responded about 11:45 p.m. to a report of a person shot in the 1800 block of Princeton Court S.W. Alley.
They arrived to find the victim off to the side of alley, dead from at least one gunshot wound.
Sgt. LaQuitta Wade said at 10:10 p.m., officers were dispatched to the neighborhood on three different Shot Spotter notifications that registered a total of 49 rounds fired in the 1800 block of Princeton Court, which is in front of the location where Moore was found.
During that first response to the area, officers retrieved some shell casings and recorded gunshot damage to two vehicles and a home.
They did not, however, find anyone injured.
More than an hour later they were called back to the neighborhood. It is believed that a family member of the victim found him dead.
Investigators said it appears Moore ran after he was shot, and collapsed in the alley.
Moore is the 147th person to die in a homicide in Birmingham in 2024 and the first fatal shooting in the city in more than two weeks.
