A 22-year-old Birmingham man was shot to death late Tuesday night on the city’s eastside.

Officers responded shortly after 11 p.m. to a report of shots fired on 71st Street North near Wahouma Park. Sgt. Rod Mauldin said they arrived and found Marcus Wilson in the rear of 130 71st Street North suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.

Wilson was taken by Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service to UAB Hospital where he was later pronounced dead.

The preliminary investigation, Mauldin said, indicates Wilson was walking when someone in a dark colored sedan appeared. An exchange of words took place before the suspect opened fire on Wilson.

No arrests have been made. Wilson is Birmingham’s 21st homicide victim of 2020. Of those, four have been ruled justifiable and therefore are not deemed criminal.

Anyone with information is asked to call homicide detectives at 205-254-1764 or Crime Stoppers at 205-254-7777.
