Authorities have released the name of a man who died Wednesday afternoon from a gunshot wound in an east Birmingham home.

The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office identified the man as Carderius Terrell Ware. He was 24 and lived in the home where the shooting happened.

Birmingham police officers and Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service responded just before 4 p.m. to a house in the 7500 block of Third Avenue South, just off Oporto-Madrid Boulevard. Authorities said Ware was pronounced dead on the scene from a gunshot wound to the head.

The initial information from police was that the wound was possibly self-inflicted. Chief Deputy Coroner Bill Yates said an autopsy is scheduled for today and it has not yet been determined how Ware was shot.

There was one other person in the home at the time of the death.
