A 40-year-old woman died Wednesday, two weeks after she was shot in east Birmingham.
Police on Thursday identified the victim as Diana McCall. She lived in Birmingham.
East Precinct officers on Wednesday, Aug. 28, were dispatched to the 7700 Block of 5th Avenue South on report of a person shot.
Officers arrived on the scene and found a wounded McCall on the sidewalk.
Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service transported her to UAB Hospital. She died Sept. 11 at the hospital.
Officer Truman Fitzgerald said the shooting stemmed from a physical fight involving two separate females and an adult male.
McCall was then involved in a confrontation with the man who was in the original fight. He shot McCall and then fled the scene.
No one is in custody, but Fitzgerald said detectives have identified all parties involved. They will present the evidence to the Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office.
McCall is Birmingham’s 112th homicide this year. Of those, eight have been ruled justifiable and two happened in previous years but the victims died in 2024.
In all of Jefferson County, there have 144 homicides including the 112 in Birmingham.
