On the morning of Sunday, June 11, 2023, a birthday gathering at a rented Airbnb in Birmingham’s Inglenook neighborhood turned deadly. Just after 2 a.m., officers responding to reports of gunfire in the 4100 block of 49th Terrace North found 18-year-old Montraevious DeWayne Milton of Pinson unresponsive in the roadway; Birmingham Fire and Rescue pronounced him dead at the scene.

Investigators say an argument at the party escalated into gunfire; more than 100 shell casings were later recovered. The crowd after the shooting was estimated at 50 people, and many attendees reportedly fled the scene. As of initial reports, no arrests had been announced. Milton was due to graduate later that summer and was a father to a young son. His death was counted as Birmingham’s 59th homicide that year.

If anyone attended that gathering or has information about what happened that night, please share what is known with the Birmingham Police Department.
