Officer Involved Shooting Investigation
On September 12th, 2025, at approximately 9:40 AM, Homewood Police Officers observed a male subject on a bicycle obstructing traffic on Greensprings Highway near Valley Avenue. The subject was riding in and out of all four lanes of traffic on Greensprings Highway causing multiple traffic disruptions.
Two officers made contact with the subject in the middle of the road on Greensprings Highway and asked for his identification. The subject stated that he did not want to identify himself because he had multiple outstanding warrants for his arrest. The subject also stated that he had been to prison for robbery. Officers continued to speak to the subject, and he eventually identified himself. Officers confirmed that he had four outstanding misdemeanor arrest warrants and was a convicted violent felon, with a conviction for Robbery – 1st Degree.
The two officers attempted to detain the subject pending confirmation of his warrants. Per standard procedure for officer safety, officers asked if had any weapons. The subject became non-compliant and uncooperative, moving himself away from officers and into lanes of oncoming traffic. Officers gave the subject multiple commands to get out of oncoming traffic lanes. The subject continued to refuse to listen to officers and began reaching under his shirt. Officers gave the subject multiple verbal commands to stop reaching, but the subject refused commands and pulled a semi-automatic pistol from his right side. The subject chambered a round into the pistol by pulling the slide to the rear and pointed the weapon at officers, at which point they fired their duty weapons striking the subject. The subject fell to the ground and was secured by officers after they removed the pistol and three loaded magazines from his person.
After the subject was secured, officers immediately began to render first aid. Homewood Fire Department medics responded and provided treatment until the subject was transported to UAB Emergency Room, where he was pronounced deceased. The Alabama Attorney General’s Office responded to the scene and is conducting the investigation. The details surrounding this incident are clearly captured on the officers’ body worn cameras, of which Attorney General’s Office investigators have taken possession. Any further questions should be directed to the Alabama Attorney General’s Office.
