Birmingham police have identified the man who was found dead in east Birmingham Friday afternoon.

Dietrich Boone, 20, was found dead in the yard behind his home in the 8400 block of 9th Avenue South just before 1 p.m. Friday, police said.

Preliminary investigation suggests the suspect went to the victim's home on 9th Avenue South and confronted the victim, police said. At some point, the suspect pulled out a handgun and chased the victim off his front porch.

Police said a gunshot was heard in the area and the suspect fled the scene.

At first, police were unsure if Boone was shot or stabbed.

The suspect turned himself in to investigators about an hour after the shooting, but police have not announced charges against the suspect.

Police said the motive for the killing appears to be domestic, noting that both men have a female acquaintance in common.

Anyone with information about the shooting should contact the Birmingham Homicide Unit at 205-254-1764 or Crime Stoppers at 205-254-7777.
