A 30-year-old Birmingham man freed on a murder charge two years ago is now charged in another deadly shooting in the city.

Birmingham police on Thursday announced the arrest of Tavares Cortez Taylor. He was booked into the Jefferson County Jail at 10:01 p.m. Wednesday and remains jailed on $400,000 bond.

Taylor is charged in the April 5 death of 35-year-old Randall Dewon Brown. The shooting happened at 10:30 p.m. that Wednesday night in the 3000 block of 15th Court North.

When North Precinct officers arrived on the scene, they found Brown lying on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds, said Lt. Sean Edwards. Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service pronounced dead on the scene at 10:56 p.m. Neighbors reported hearing gunshots, some said as many as eight or nine.

Police have not released a motive in the slaying. Both the suspect and the victim were no strangers to lawmen. The week before his death, Brown was featured on Crime Stoppers. He was wanted on outstanding felony warrants charging him with third-degree robbery and second-degree burglary. He was also awaiting trial on felony assault following a 2016 arrest.

Taylor has been arrested multiple times in recent years, court records show. He is currently awaiting trial on drug and gun charges lodged against him earlier this year.

He was arrested in 2014 and charged with murder in a fatal shooting in the Norwood Bottoms community. Police at the time said gunfire erupted just before 2 p.m. in the 1700 block of 32nd Place North on April 1, 2014. When officers arrived on the scene, they found 27-year-old James Butler Redmon suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He later died at UAB Hospital.

Taylor was arrested at the scene, and said the shooting resulted from a domestic dispute between the two and involved other family members. That murder charge against Taylor was dismissed in 2015 when a Jefferson County grand jury failed to indict him, court records show. He was arrested on a first-degree robbery charge in 2012, but that also was dismissed.
