Jamarcus Liray Olive, a 35-year-old man, has been charged with capital murder in connection with the shooting death of Andreika Robinson, 34. This incident took place on Tuesday, June 3, 2025, when police discovered Robinson unresponsive outside her home in the 100 block of Redstone Drive in east Birmingham.
Authorities received a 911 call shortly after 6 a.m. reporting a woman down in her driveway, prompting a swift response by officers from the East Precinct. Upon arrival, they found Robinson and immediately initiated life-saving measures, but she was pronounced dead at 7:10 a.m. by the Jefferson County Coroner’s Office. An autopsy later confirmed that Robinson had sustained gunshot wounds, leading investigators to classify her death as suspicious at the outset.
Olive was apprehended by law enforcement just hours after the shooting occurred. Detectives subsequently presented evidence to the Jefferson County Magistrate’s Office, resulting in the formal charge against him the following day. He is currently being held without bond at the Jefferson County Jail.
The shooting reportedly took place while Robinson was inside her vehicle, a fact that significantly contributed to the capital murder charge against Olive. As of now, authorities have not disclosed a motive behind the tragic incident.
Alongside the heartbreaking loss of Robinson, her death has left behind four young daughters, marking a profound impact on their lives and the community. This incident contributes to Birmingham’s growing concerns regarding homicide rates, as her death marks the city’s 34th homicide for 2025, with a total of 50 homicides recorded in Jefferson County this year.
Witnesses in the area reported seeing a neighbor find Robinson unresponsive and unsure if she was still breathing when they called for emergency help. Fire medics later returned to the scene to assist a distraught family member following the incident.
Birmingham police are actively soliciting help from the public, urging anyone with additional information related to the case to reach out to homicide detectives or contact Crime Stoppers.
As the investigation continues, the community remains on edge, reflecting on the need for improved safety and the importance of justice for victims of violence. Authorities are committed to providing updates as they unfold in this ongoing case.
