The Birmingham Police Department is conducting a homicide investigation. The incident occurred on Friday, December 2, 2022.
The victim has been identified as:
Cornelius Arthour May Jr., (20), B/M, of Birmingham, Alabama.
At approximately 8 PM, North Precinct officers were dispatched to the Chevron located at 1525 Finley Boulevard on report of multiple people shooting at one another. The call was updated to multiple people shot.
Officers arrived on the scene and observed a vehicle across the street from the Chevron which had collided with a tree. Upon further investigation, officers observed an adult female victim inside of the vehicle suffering from an apparent gunshot wound.
