In the spring of 2021, 21-year-old Deterrious Kieth-Bernerd Steele was shot and killed in Bessemer, Alabama. On the evening of April 18, gunfire erupted at Enoch Brown Park on Berkeley Avenue; officers arriving around 9:41 p.m. found Steele with multiple gunshot wounds and he was pronounced dead at the scene shortly before 10 p.m. He would have turned 22 the following month.
Steele’s family described him as always smiling and talking and said he was not involved in gangs or trouble. A graveside service was held April 24, 2021, at Cedar Hill Cemetery in Bessemer. The Bessemer Police Department opened a homicide investigation, and as of the last report no arrests have been publicly announced.
Did anyone in the Bessemer area see or hear anything at Enoch Brown Park the night of April 18 that might help investigators?
