According to officials, the shooting took place at approximately 11:42 p.m. at an apartment complex in the 4600 block of Roscoe Avenue, located within the Rev. Dr. Morrell Todd Homes.
Birmingham Police Department officers assigned to the South Precinct were dispatched to the scene after receiving an alert from ShotSpotter, the city’s gunfire detection system.

Orr was later pronounced deceased at the hospital at 12:31 a.m., according to Chief Deputy Coroner Bill Yates.
