22-year-old Ty’Keem Moore found shot to death in west Birmingham neighborhood
Nearly 50 shots were fired.
A young man lost his life in a tragic shooting that occurred late Tuesday night in a west Birmingham neighborhood, where authorities report nearly 50 shots were fired.
The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office identified the victim as 22-year-old Ty’Keem Dishad Moore.
According to the Birmingham Police Department, officers responded to a report of a person shot at approximately 11:45 p.m. in the 1800 block of Princeton Court S.W. Alley.
Upon arrival, they discovered Moore lying off to the side of an alley, deceased from at least one gunshot wound.
Authorities believe the incident began earlier in the evening. At 10:10 p.m., officers were dispatched to the same neighborhood following three separate ShotSpotter alerts indicating a total of 49 rounds fired in the 1800 block of Princeton Court.
During their initial response, officers located shell casings and noted gunfire damage to two vehicles and a residence. However, no injuries were reported at that time.
More than an hour later, officers were called back to the scene when Moore’s body was discovered, reportedly by a family member. Investigators believe Moore may have attempted to flee after being shot but ultimately collapsed in the alley.
