Two more people died in separate homicides in west Birmingham Wednesday night, Birmingham police said.

Now, four people have died in homicides in Birmingham within the past 24 hours.

"What we want to do, as the mayor said this morning, we've got to address this head-on as a community. It's not just the police department. There are a number of things that need to take place. A lot of people need to get involved to help curve this violence," said Sgt. Johnny Williams "We're going to do our part as a department. We want to find out exactly what happened in each one of these cases. These victims and their families deserve justice."

Around 9:20 p.m., West Precinct officers responded to a report of a vehicle crash in the 1200 block of Mitchell Street and found a black male unresponsive inside a vehicle that had struck a home, Williams said. He was pronounced dead by the Jefferson County Coroner.

Police have not determined the victim's cause of death, but did say there were shots fired in the area around the time of the crash.

"Right now, our evidence techs are processing the scene. We're still waiting on our robbery and homicide investigators to arrive to start their investigation," Williams said.

About an hour later, around 10:20 p.m., police responded to a call of a person shot in the 1100 block of Meadow Lane. Officers found black male laying in the roadway suffering from a gunshot wound, he said.

The Jefferson County Coroner pronounced him dead at the scene.

"We do have one person who we believe is possibly involved. We have that person detained and we are going to question that person," Williams said.

The first of four fatal incidents happened about 2:30 a.m. Wednesday when police responded to Princeton Hospital after two people suffering from gunshot wounds arrived at the emergency room. Police said they were shot in a vehicle in Pratt City.

One of those victims, 26-year-old Briana Young, died from her injuries.

The second homicide happened around 2 p.m. in the 5100 block of Jenkins Street. West Precinct Sgt. Danny Woodard said a neighbor heard shots fired and the saw an SUV crashed into a tree.

Police have not yet identified three of the four victims as of 11:30 p.m. Wednesday.
