A shooting this afternoon in the Kingston community left one person dead and two others injured.

The shooting happened Sunday on 9th Avenue and 44th Place North. Birmingham police on the scene said the victims were outside, and the incident could have been a drive-by shooting.

According to Sgt. Bryan Shelton, three victims were transported to the hospital.

One victim died at the hospital, one victim is in critical condition, and the other is in stable condition.

A car at the scene had a window shot out, but the woman driving was not injured.

Police are asking anyone with information on the incident to call police.

"They want to live in peace," Shelton said about the residents in the community. "Its saddening... but our communities still have good people living in them."

Chief A.C. Roper was on the scene, just hours after leaving a non-violence summit at Boutwell Auditorium. Shelton said Roper used to live in the Kingston area, and he is "concerned" about the community.

"It's a very unfortunate incident on a beautiful Sunday... it's really saddening," Shelton said.

The victims were described as young black males, and there are currently no suspects in the shooting.

Anyone with information should call Birmingham police at 205-254-1700 or CrimeStoppers at 205-254-7777.
