Man Celebrating His 29th Birthday Killed in Drive-By Shooting: Police

A man who was celebrating his 29th birthday was shot dead in a drive-by shooting, according to Alabama police.

Birmingham police raced to the 5600 block of Avenue I after they received reports that two people had been injured in a shooting on Sunday.

When officers arrived, they found that two men, who were related, had suffered gunshot wounds, according to AL.com.

The outlet reported the 29-year-old was pronounced dead and that he had been celebrating his birthday with a gathering at the property.

The second victim was taken to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, AL.com reported.

According to the Gun Violence Archive, a database that collects information about shootings from across the U.S., 29 people in Birmingham have been shot dead this month.

Sgt. Monica Law said a vehicle pulled up outside the home and that shots were fired from it. No suspects have yet been identified.

Law added: "We do have some citizens cooperating with officers, but we are asking anyone with information to come forward.

"Officers are utilizing all the resources available to us to include the Real Time Crime Center, but we really would be helped if anyone would come forward with information.

"We really need the community's help to find out what's going on, who did this and why."

Newsweek has contacted the Birmingham Police Department for comment.

There have been numerous occasions where people have been shot dead while celebrating with others.

Earlier this month, a father was shot dead at an engagement party that he attended with his wife and children in a Los Angeles suburb.

Edgar Rodriguez, 29, was one of hundreds of guests at a party held at a large banquet hall in Northridge.

The Los Angeles Police Department said an altercation started inside the venue, but moved outside, where the victim was shot.

Rodriguez, who was identified by family members at the party, was reportedly shot multiple times in the upper body by a suspect who opened fire with a handgun. He died shortly afterward.

Police said the suspect is a man in his 40s who fled from the area and that he hasn't yet been caught.

Officers arrived at the venue at about 11:11 p.m. after they received reports that a man had been shot in the parking lot.

In the U.S., 321 people are shot every single day, according to statistics compiled by Brady, using data provided by Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project's HCUPnet.
