Authorities have released the names of two men killed hours apart in unrelated Birmingham shootings.
The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office on Friday identified the victims as Cameron Demijah Little, 23, and Corey Lavel Tremble, 38. Both men lived in Birmingham.
Little was one of two people shot late Wednesday in East Lake Park. The other victim survived.
East Precinct officers were dispatched to the park in the 100 block of 84th North just after 11:30 p.m. The city’s gunfire detection system, Shot Spotter, had alerted them to about 10 rounds fired.
Police arrived to find Little unresponsive in the park. Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service pronounced him dead at 12:01 a.m.
Officer De’Rell Freeman said the preliminary investigation indicates a group of people, both men and women, met up in the park. Unknown circumstances led to shots being fired.
Then, shortly after 3 a.m. Thursday, West Precinct officers were dispatched to a report of a person down in the 700 block of 17th Street Ensley.
They arrived to find Tremble wounded. Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service pronounced him dead on the scene at 3:37 a.m.
Freeman said details were limited but said a passerby made the discovery and called 911.
Little and Tremble are among 42 people killed in the city this year. In all of Jefferson County, there have been 66 homicides including the 42 in Birmingham.
Anyone with information in either slaying is asked to call 205-254-1764 or contact Crime Stoppers at 205-254-7777.
