Birmingham police are asking for help locating a 24-year-old man accused of shooting and killing his ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend on Aug. 13.

Quindarius Reed is wanted for capital murder, according to Birmingham police.

Reed is accused of fatally shooting Joshua Lewis, 24, inside an apartment located in the 7700 block of 4th Avenue South.

Officers responded to the scene of the shooting at around 1:06 a.m. and were told the shooting took place inside an apartment.

Inside they found Lewis lying across the bed suffering from a gunshot wound, said Birmingham police spokesman Lt. Sean Edwards. Lewis was pronounced dead at 1:26 a.m.

The shooter fled the scene before officers arrived on the scene.

Edwards said the investigation showed Lewis was confronted by his girlfriend's ex-boyfriend, now identified as Reed, and that is when he was shot.

Lewis was Birmingham's 61st homicide victim of 2016.

Anyone with information on Reed's whereabouts is asked to call Birmingham police homicide unit at 205-254-1764
