The shooting death of 13-year-old robbery suspect Jaqures Walker has been ruled as justifiable homicide by the Jefferson County District Attorney's Office. No arrests or charges have been filed in the case. Birmingham police say Walker attempted to rob a couple in the Skyview Condominium Friday, April 27. Police say Walker approached a vehicle as it was pulling into the parking lot, demanded the driver get out of his car and "give it up." The driver had a handgun and shot the teenage robbery suspect, who died at the scene.
When police arrived to the scene, they observed Walker had "a T-shirt tied across his face in a bandana manner and a fully loaded handgun with the hammer cocked in his hand," BPD Sgt. Johnny Williams said in a release. In their investigation, the D.A.'s office interviewed the driver who shot Walker and the passenger inside the car. The D.A.'s office has ruled the shooting as justifiable homicide.
Detectives also learned that five other individuals were with Walker at the apartment complex, Williams said. The D.A.'s office says they will not file charges against any of the people who were with Walker prior to the robbery. Birmingham police say any additional information that develops in the case will be investigated and those findings will be presented to the county D.A.'s office.
