Birmingham – The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office has identified two men killed in separate shootings that took place in Birmingham recently. The victims have been named as Cameron Demijah Little, 23, and Corey Lavel Tremble, 38. The incidents have heightened concerns over gun violence in the city, which has reported a total of 42 homicides this year.
Cameron Demijah Little was fatally shot late Wednesday night in East Lake Park. Authorities received a call about the shooting just after 11:30 p.m. Upon arrival, police found Little unresponsive in the park. The Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service was called to the scene and pronounced him dead at 12:01 a.m. on Thursday. Preliminary investigations indicate that a group of individuals had gathered at the park, which may have led to an altercation resulting in gunfire. Notably, a second individual who was with Little at the time of the shooting survived and was unharmed.
The city’s gunfire detection system, known as Shot Spotter, indicated that approximately 10 rounds were fired before police arrived at the scene. The investigation is ongoing as law enforcement seeks to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the shooting.
Hours later, at around 3 a.m. on Thursday, West Precinct officers responded to a report of a person down at the 700 block of 17th Street Ensley. Upon arriving, officers discovered Corey Lavel Tremble suffering from injuries, and he was pronounced dead at the scene at 3:37 a.m. A passerby reportedly found Tremble and immediately alerted emergency services.
Both shootings are part of a disturbing trend of escalating violence in Birmingham. The 42 homicides reported this year contribute to a total of 66 homicides across Jefferson County. This spike in violence is raising alarm among local residents and authorities alike, encouraging a community push for safer environments.
Authorities are requesting anyone with information related to either shooting to reach out to the Birmingham Police Department at 205-254-1764 or contact Crime Stoppers at 205-254-7777. Their collaboration may be crucial in bringing those responsible for these tragic incidents to justice.
