LaDarrius Gaitor was murdered on the 1200 block of McDonald Street on September 7, 2009. Eric Law was arrested and charged with the capital murder.

She was struck by a stray bullet during a large gun battle, itself precipitated by another murder, that of Brandon McGuire earlier that day on nearby Jesse Owens Avenue in Birmingham.
