Birmingham – Two men have been arrested in connection with recent fatal shooting incidents that have left two individuals dead in Birmingham. De’Corlion Keshaun Robinson, 23, and Reginald Morrow, 38, face severe charges related to the murders. Both cases have raised significant community concern regarding violence within the city.
Robinson has been charged with murder and unlawful possession of a machine gun conversion device following the shooting of Demetrice Beverly, a 39-year-old coach at Parker High School. The incident occurred on August 13, 2025, in the 1100 block of Lakeshore Ridge. A court has granted Robinson a bond set at $165,000, with $150,000 allocated for the murder charge and $15,000 for the weapons charge. He is due to appear in court for a preliminary hearing in September 2025.
In a separate case, Reginald Morrow is facing capital murder charges in the shooting death of Arthur Neal Jackson Jr., age 50. Jackson was shot while sitting in his vehicle on February 6, 2025, in the 800 block of Center Street North and succumbed to his injuries on August 13, 2025, at UAB Hospital. Morrow was arrested on August 19, 2025, by the Birmingham Police Crime Reduction Team and is currently being held without bond in the Jefferson County Jail. This charge of capital murder is particularly severe given the circumstances that Jackson was in a vehicle when shot, indicating a potentially premeditated attack. Details on the motive for Morrow’s actions have not yet been disclosed.
Additionally, Terance Akeem Alexander, 37, has been charged with murder in connection with the shooting of Taevon Jamir Arnold, 31, which occurred on August 8, 2025, in the 1400 block of 1st Avenue North. Arnold later died at UAB Hospital due to his injuries. The shooting also left another individual injured. Alexander, who had previously been released on bond, was re-arrested on August 19, 2025, and is being held without bond. He faces multiple charges, including murder, first-degree assault, discharging a firearm into an unoccupied building, and discharging a firearm into an occupied vehicle.
The community now faces stark reminders of the violence permeating the streets of Birmingham, as these incidents bring into focus the urgent need for discussions around public safety and gun laws. As the legal proceedings unfold, many are hopeful for justice for the victims and their families.
