BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - Police in Alabama say a man has been shot to death outside of a Birmingham grocery store in what appears to be a targeted attack.
Birmingham police Sgt. Bryan Shelton tells AL.com the Sunday morning shooting of 37-year-old Demetrius Davis doesn’t appear random. Davis was pronounced dead at the scene by authorities.
