A woman is dead after being shot inside her car Monday evening on Birmingham’s west side.

The incident happened at approximately 7:39 p.m. in the 1600 block of Tuscaloosa Avenue Southwest, according to Birmingham police Sgt. Johnny Williams. West Precinct officers responded to a call of two people with gunshot wounds, who had both taken to Princeton Baptist Medical Center by private cars. Police learned the two had been shot on Tuscaloosa Avenue.

Investigators learned that Cheri Lashunda Twilley, 47, and the suspect had a brief verbal altercation in a convenience store earlier Monday evening. Shortly after leaving the store, Williams said, the suspect fired into Twilley’s vehicle while she was stopped at a stop sign.

Twilley, of Birmingham, died soon after arriving at Princeton. The second shooting victim is expected to recover from his injury, Williams said.

Birmingham police are investigating the case, and no suspects are in custody as of Tuesday morning. Anyone with information on the case should contact the Homicide Unit at 205-254-1764 or Crime Stoppers at 205-254-7777.
