A man was found shot to death Wednesday inside his Avondale apartment.

Birmingham police and Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service responded at 11:30 a.m. to a report of a shooting in the 4200 block of Fifth Avenue South. The location is one of the small apartment buildings across the street from Avondale Park.

Sgt. Johnny Williams said South Precinct officers found the victim dead inside the apartment. He has been identified as 26-year-old Kyre Robinson.

One resident said he heard a shot fired and then heard children screaming. Williams said he didn’t know if any children were in the apartment when the shooting happened.

An acquaintance said the victim’s girlfriend had gone to the grocery store and just spoken with him about what he wanted to eat. He had told her seafood.

When she returned from the store, the door was unlocked and Robinson was dead on the floor.

"We’re trying to determine if there are anyone persons in the area who may have heard anything or seen anything prior to the shooting,'' Williams said. "We have limited information. "

The fatal shooting is Birmingham’s fifth homicide in 2020. Anyone with information is asked to call Birmingham police homicide detectives at 205-254-1764 or Crime Stoppers at 205-254-7777.
