Investigators worked to determine what led to the shooting and rapidly identified a person of interest. Within a day a 28-year-old, Quindaris Deon Hopkins of Birmingham, was taken into custody by the U.S. Marshals Gulf Coast Regional Fugitive Task Force at an apartment complex on B.Y. Williams Drive. The Bessemer Police Department announced murder charges and Hopkins was booked into the Jefferson County Jail.
