BIRMINGHAM, AL (WBMA) — The Birmingham Police Department is investigating a homicide that occurred in the 900 Block of Center Street North.

BPD North Precinct officers were dispatched to a person shot call at approximately 2:35 p.m.

When officers arrived they discovered a grey SUV in the 10th block of 9th street west, where they discovered 65-year-old Curtis Jerome Pruitt suffering from a gunshot wound inside the SUV.
