On the evening of April 27, 2021, a drive-by shooting at a park on Glen Crest Drive in Fairfield, Alabama, left 24-year-old Deangelo Dewayne Poole dead and four other men wounded. Deputies from the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office arrived about 7:45 p.m.; Poole was pronounced dead at the scene and the survivors were taken to UAB Hospital. Investigators described the attack as a targeted barrage of gunfire from a vehicle, and the park was processed as a crime scene.

In the days after the shooting local pastors and the mayor publicly urged action against gun violence. A public viewing and a graveside service at Elmwood Mausoleum in Birmingham were held in early May 2021. Crime Stoppers of Metro Alabama later offered a cash reward, and the sheriff’s office continued to seek tips, but no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced.

If anyone has information about the April 27, 2021 drive-by on Glen Crest Drive that could help investigators, please share what you know.
