A young West End suspect who is jailed on suspicion of fatally shooting someone and then intentionally T-boning two Birmingham police officers appeared to have streamed the entire crash on Facebook Live.

He is one of two suspects in the Birmingham City Jail after a series of incidents Friday night that left one man dead and two Birmingham West Precinct officers seriously injured. He was also involved in another high-profile crime earlier this year as a witness to the murder of one of his close friends.

Birmingham police spokesman Lt. Sean Edwards said Saturday that the officers remain hospitalized. Both suffered neck and back injuries, as well as multiple other problems. One of them is still in the Intensive Care Unit at UAB Hospital but both are expected to survive. A hospital spokeswoman said they are listed in fair condition.

"They've got a long road to recovery,'' Edwards said. "They got hit pretty good. It's a miracle both walked away alive."

"Unfortunately,'' he said, "an innocent life was lost due to the reckless actions of two not-so-innocent individuals."

One of them is an officer still on the training car who just graduated from the Birmingham Police Academy on March 17. The other is a veteran officer who was honored earlier this year by supervisors for his work as a field training officer, and for his devotion to responding to Shot Spotter calls.

It all began Friday night about 9:15 p.m. Edwards said it all started when the suspect reportedly stole a credit card from his grandmother to go buy an iPhone. The suspect's father went looking for him and spotted him on Jefferson Avenue and began to follow his son.

Someone from inside the car started shooting, and one of those bullets struck an innocent motorist who just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. He has been identified as 20-year-old Antonio Brooks.

Brooks then crashed into a house in the 1700 block of Jefferson Avenue and was pronounced dead on the scene, becoming the city's 50th homicide victim in 2017. He was not carrying identification, so it was a challenge identifying him.

Officers working the homicide scene spotted the possible suspect vehicle. Officers confirmed that it was in fact the suspects and a pursuit began. Another patrol car was waiting at the intersection of 18th and Grant, Sgt. Bryan Shelton said Friday night.

The suspects' vehicle made its way to that area and collided with the patrol car sitting at 18th and Grant. The two officers were T-boned by a suspect fleeing the deadly shooting.

"These two suspects weren't satisfied with the homicide but it appears they intentionally drove their vehicle into the patrol car injuring these officers,'' Birmingham Police Chief A.C. Roper said Friday night.. "We are so thankful these officers survived this horrible collision."

The initial report came in just before 10 p.m. as a call of "officers down" in the 1800 block of Grant Avenue Southwest. Two Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service teams responded to the scene to transport the officers to the hospital. They were briefly trapped in their crashed vehicle. Rescue workers mapped out their transport route and a team of police officers blocked the intersections between Grant Avenue and UAB Hospital for fast transport.

According to a Facebook Live video obtained by AL.com, the suspect was driving through the area and remarking on all the flashing blue police lights. At one point during the video, he is heard saying, "Damn, free me man." It also appears he said, "Want me to hit (them)?"

The video continues after the violent crash, where officers can be heard ordering the suspects out of the car. Police officials aren't confirming the video is their suspect, but the person who streamed the video has the same name of a inmate booked into the Birmingham City Jail Saturday morning on suspicion of murder, reckless endangerment and attempted to elude police. Police on Saturday said they are still trying to determine whether the crash was intentional or accidental.

Edwards said he's not confirming the video is their suspect but said they do have a copy of it. He said they appreciate the evidence social media gives to investigators trying to solve crimes. "These criminals are foolish enough to post this stuff live hoping to get their three minutes of fame, but that three minutes could get them 30 years in prison,'' he said.

Edwards said the suspects have not yet been formally charged with any crime and the investigation is ongoing.
