A Sunday afternoon shooting at a west Birmingham business left one man dead.
Birmingham police and Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service responded just after 5 p.m. to Nu Vision in the 2800 block of Bessemer Road. Nu Vision is a car detailing shop and was the scene of homicide just 13 months ago as well.
Birmingham police Sgt. Rod Mauldin said when officers arrived at the business, they found the victim lying on the ground. Fire medics pronounced the adult male dead on the scene.
The victim, Mauldin said, was patronizing the business when an unknown assailant fired shots. It wasn’t immediately clear whether the gunman was on foot or in vehicle. “There are multiple shell casings,’’ Mauldin said.
There were other customers at the business at the time. Detectives are interviewing witnesses and canvassing the area. No suspects have been identified or arrested.
It is the second slaying at the business in a little more than a year. On Sunday, April 28, 2019, 28-year-old Omari Sharad Pollnitz – who was in a wheelchair from a previous shooting – was found shot to death inside a bay at Nu Vision. The death was ruled justifiable.
Sunday’s slaying is Birmingham’s 47th homicide this year. Of those, five have been ruled justifiable and therefore are not deemed criminal. In all of Jefferson County, there have been 71 homicides, including the 47 in Birmingham.
Anyone with information is asked to all Birmingham police homicide detectives at 205-254-1764 or Crime Stoppers at 205-254-7777.
