The names of two men whose deaths are being investigated as Birmingham homicides have now been released.

The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office identified the victims as Daniel Leroy Jackson, 24, and Bryan Edward Hooper, 46.

Jackson was killed Sunday night in southwest Birmingham. The city’s West Precinct officers were dispatched shortly before 7:30 p.m. to a report of a person down in the 1700 block of Maple Avenues, said Sgt. Rod Mauldin. When police arrived at the residence, they Jackson unresponsive in the yard from at least one gunshot wound.

Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service pronounced Jackson dead at the scene. Police have not released any additional information about Jackson’s death.

Hooper died Friday, almost a week after he was apparently injured in a fight.

On Saturday, Feb. 29, North Precinct officers were dispatched to a fight call at Second Avenue North and 13th Street. Officers arrived on the scene to find Hooper unresponsive on the ground, Mauldin said.

Hooper was taken to UAB Hospital’s Trauma Center where he remained until his death. The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office said he died from blunt force trauma.

Mauldin said information gathered in the preliminary investigation led detectives to classify the death as a homicide. He did not elaborate.

Chief Deputy Coroner Bill Yates said authorities have not been able to locate any family members for Hooper. He is a white male believed to have been homeless and possibly had relatives at one point in Tennessee.

Anyone with information on Hooper’s family is asked to call the coroner’s office at 205-930-3603.

Police have not announced arrests in either slaying. Anyone with information is asked to call Birmingham homicide detectives at 205-254-1764 or Crime Stoppers at 205-254-7777.
