A man’s body was discovered in the North Titusville neighborhood of Birmingham, and a homicide inquiry has been opened as a result.

According to the Birmingham Police Department, the incident took place on Wednesday afternoon at the meeting point of Center Street North and 1st Avenue South. According to the police, neighbors of the area reported hearing gunshots and dialing 911. A man was found slumped over on a motorcycle by the officers who arrived at the site; paramedics also pronounced him dead at the scene.

After further investigation, the office of the coroner determined that he was Obray Carter, 39 years old, from Birmingham. At the time that WVTM 13 got at the scene, the motorcycle was still parked at the junction, where it had been stationary at the stop sign.
