The Birmingham Police Department is hard at work investigating reports of a man in a black Nissan Altima who is allegedly targeting women in a series of concerning shooting incidents. How alarming is that?

Social Media Goes Wild

Social media has erupted with concerning posts since February 2, 2025, with folks hitting the share button close to 2,000 times, spreading the word about this supposed shooter. People are warning each other, urging ladies to stay vigilant because, let’s face it, the reports describe this guy as a real psycho. The Nissan, which is said to have striking silver trim and heavily tinted windows, has been spotted in several areas, raising alarm bells among residents.

Police Response

In light of these reports, the police are on the case, actively searching the east Birmingham area. However, it’s worth noting that the police have clarified that their ongoing operations are not directly linked to the shooting reports — which is a relief! But the vigilance doesn’t stop there, as they are keen on ensuring everyone feels safe in their neighborhood.

Chase and Crash Incident

Just recently, things took an interesting turn during their operations. Officers detected a stolen vehicle near 90th Street and Zion City Road at around 1:52 p.m. When they attempted a traffic stop, the situation escalated quickly, and the suspect fled in a hurry. This chase ended when the suspect crashed a Chevrolet into a ditch on 11th Avenue North and then made a daring escape on foot. Yikes! That must have been quite a sight!

After the crash, the Birmingham Police Department (BPD) sprang into action by setting up a perimeter around the area. The boys and girls in blue from various teams, including Crime Reduction, Special Enforcement, and K-9 units, conducted extensive searches to track down the suspect. Although they put in a valiant effort, the suspect managed to elude capture this time, leaving the investigation open and active.

Connecting the Dots

Despite the rumors swirling around, BPD’s Sgt. LaQuitta Wade confirmed that there is currently no evidence linking the stolen vehicle pursuit to the earlier reports of shootings. That’s some good news for now! Community members remain on edge, with multiple Facebook posts recounting similar encounters with a figure in a black sedan popping up all over the platform.

What’s Next?

In the thick of this, there were also reports of another shooting on Carson Road, along with sightings in the Tarrant area. But wait! Tarrant Police Chief Wendell Major confirmed that he hadn’t heard of any shooting incidents happening in Tarrant on that particular day, leaving many scratching their heads. Confusion or miscommunication? Either way, let’s all stay safe and be mindful.

Community Safety Comes First

So far, it’s essential to note that fortunately, there have been no injuries reported linked to these shooting incidents. The Birmingham Police Department is dedicated to addressing this matter head-on and prioritizing community safety above all. They encourage everyone to stay aware of their surroundings and report any suspicious activity.

Now, as residents continue to breathe a sigh of relief that nobody has been injured, the hope is that with ongoing efforts, peace will be restored to our streets. Stay tuned, Birmingham; we’ll keep you updated on any further developments as this story unfolds!
