This is a List of Birmingham homicides in 2024. It includes homicide cases occurring within the city limits during the calendar year. Note that a "homicide" refers to the cause of death as determined by a medical examiner, not to the commission of the crime of murder as charged by police and prosecutors.

131 homicides have been reported in the city as of September 30. Birmingham saw 151 homicides in 2023. The recent record high was 153, set in 2022. The recent record low of 62 homicides was set in 2014. At this point in 2023, 110 homicides had been reported.

The city has averaged 14.6 homicides per month, or one every 2.1 days.

11 of the reported homicides have been ruled justifiable as self-defense by investigators or prosecutors; 5 deaths resulted from crimes committed in previous years; and one was a police-involved shooting. With the exception of those cases, the Birmingham Police Department acknowledges 114 chargeable homicides in 2024. Suspects have been identified in 56 cases, arrested in 51 and charged in 47. In two cases, the suspected shooter also died in the same incident. Another charged suspect died before she was taken into custody. The city experienced three mass shootings with 4 or more victims in 2024.

At least 118 violent deaths so far have resulted from shootings, 6 from vehicle collisions, 1 from arson, 2 from bodily assault, 1 from strangulation, 1 from child neglect, and 2 from unpublicized causes. 31 incidents occurred at private homes, 11 outside apartment buildings, 17 at businesses, 1 at a park, and 67 on the streets. 5 bodies were found dumped, with the scene of the death unclear.

4 homicides took place during robberies, and 3 others took place during kidnappings. 22 appeared to be targeted assaults, 6 were apparent accidents associated with criminal recklessness, and 1 arose from neglect of a child. 42 resulted from arguments, 15 of which were domestic disputes and 1 was an altercation with police. At least 4 victims are believed to have been struck by stray bullets. The motives for 50 other homicides have not been reported.

109 victims were male and 22 were female.

Responses

On March 24 the Mothers United Against Gun Violence joined with the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, the NAACP, Black Lives Matter and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference to host an anti-gun violence rally at First Baptist Church of Ensley.

Mothers United also hosted a memorial service on April 27, during National Crime Victims' Rights Week, and an awareness event on June 1 at Kelly Ingram Park.

The City of Birmingham launched a pilot of "Project Safe Streets" to reduce the number of entrances and exits to residential neighborhoods, approved a "Citizens Observer Patrol", and established an $80,000 reward fund for information leading to arrests in cases where shooting victims are minors. Mayor Randall Woodfin appealed to the public to de-escalate violence and break the cycle of retaliation and promised to "turn up the heat" on enforcement of infractions seen as precursors or contributors to violence.

Woodfin also called on the public to help investigators close cases by contacting police or providing anonymous tips through Crime Stoppers of Metro Alabama. In August the Birmingham Police Department was able to welcome an "outpouring of assistance," enabling them to make arrests and close cases that otherwise could not have been solved.
