This is a List of Birmingham homicides in 2006. A total of 109 homicides were reported within the city limits during 2006. 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.

The homicide rate for the city of Birmingham, based on the 2005 census estimate of 231,483 population, was 47.1 homicides per 100,000 population for the year. Birmingham had 105 homicides in 2005, 64 in 2004, and a record of 141 in 1994.

Birmingham averaged 9.1 homicides per month, or one every 3.35 days. June was the deadliest month, with 13 homicides vs. a low of 4 in October. The longest stretch without a homicide occurred in the 15 days between October 2 and 16, 2006.

Birmingham Police detectives have cleared 71 of the 109 recorded homicides (64.2%). Three were ruled justifiable, two by reason of self-defense and one police shooting which survived review by the Jefferson County District Attorney. Two other shootings by Birmingham Police are still under review.

44 of the 109 homicides took place within a residence, while 25 occurred on a street. Of those for which the circumstances are known, at least 14 homicides originated in domestic disturbances; 6 were initiated by robberies, and 21 occurred during heated arguments. 60 cases have been listed with no known motive.

Responses

In the Mayor's January 9, 2006 State of the City address to the Kiwanis Club of Birmingham, Bernard Kincaid stated that "Regardless of the events and circumstances which underlie it, our current homicide rate in Birmingham is unacceptable to this mayor. [...] I pledge to you and to all of our citizens that we will attack this problem from every responsible angle to reduce the number of homicides that occur in our city." (Bryant - January 10)

Cease fire.jpg

On January 14, 2006, largely as a response to the high number of homicides in 2005, and continuing through New Years', the City of Birmingham unveiled a "Ceasefire Initiative", planned to promote members of the community to get involved in reducing violent crime. Anti-Crime summits were planned in each Council District and materials featuring the Ceasefire logo are being distributed to promote awareness.

Jefferson County sheriff Mike Hale created a Violent Crimes Task Force made up of 51 federal, state and local law-enforcement officers from 21 separate agencies, which engaged in a two-month intensive effort, called Operation Unity to fight the increase in homicides by cracking down on violent offenders. In 60 days the Task Force cleared 1,009 warrants, arrested 512 people, and seized 84 cars, 41 guns and $600,000 in illegal drugs. A similar effort under Mel Bailey in the 1980s was credited with a sharp reduction in homicides in Bessemer that year.

On June 27 Mayor Bernard Kincaid took part in a "funeral procession against crime" organized by the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. According to Kincaid, the aim of the march was "to raise community awareness and to bring together voices for change in Birmingham's most dangerous neighborhoods." The procession, which included 7 hearses loaned by area funeral parlors, began at St Joseph the Worker Church on 9th Avenue North and passed through several troubled areas before visiting an anti-crime rally which was part of the West End Family Reunion at the Park Manor Apartments on Tuscaloosa Avenue. The rally was attended by Birmingham police chief Annetta Nunn. The city's 54th homicide occurred within earshot of the rally around 5:30 P.M.

On July 20, in response to the July 15 shootout in Ensley that claimed Woods and Richburg, councilor Steven Hoyt met with ministers and community leaders at the Five Points West Library to discuss solutions to crime problems. Later that evening he participated in a candlelight vigil with members of the victim's families "to raise awareness of the violence gripping the city." (Norris - July 21)

Tom Burtnett, a former police officer created a t-shirt depicting Vulcan holding an AK-47 with the caption "I fire one shot for each murder, ....and I'm running out of ammo." His intent, he says, is to "raise public awareness and get the attention of city leaders, who aren't giving police officers what they need to do their job." (Robinson - July 21)

On July 20, Jefferson County Commission president Larry Langford proposed a county-sponsored literacy center "to stem the number of murders in the Birmingham area." (Wright - July 21). The Montgomery-based Foundation for Moral Law is sponsoring a panel discussion on parenting on September 21 at the Cathedral of the Cross. Comedian Bill Cosby will join the panel to speak about morality and education as alternatives to violent lifestyles. (Robinson - August 19)

On September 5, Mayor Kincaid and Chief Nunn jointly presented a "Public Safety Compensation & Crime Reduction Plan" to address officer retention and recruitment and crime-fighting programs. Kincaid rejected a City Council resolution to increase pay for police, fire and rescue personnel by 15% Instead, Kincaid called for the Council to convert the existing $200/month "uniform allowance" to salary, and wants the Jefferson County Personnel Board to study Birmingham's overall compensation package for police , which he would review for the City's 2008 fiscal year budget.

For her part, Chief Nunn proposed changes to recruiting and a number of reassignments within the department to put more officers on the street: establishing a 3-person Recruitment Staff, awarding an incremental signing bonus for new officers, and making the Police Academy more flexible with regard to candidate testing and certification.

Nunn's "Crime Reduction Plan" consisted of intensifying existing operations at traffic checkpoints, serving warrants to fugitives, and collaborating more with U. S. Marshals and the FBI. She proposed replacing School Resource Officers with private security guards, replacing call-screeners with non-sworn employees, allowing the department to place two officers in each patrol car in designated areas. She also proposed implementing a video surveillance trial program in high-complaint areas, re-establishing a charitable foundation benefitting the Department, and purchasing the recently-approved camera-equipped Taser weapons. (Kincaid, Nunn - September 5)

On October 31, the Mayor reacted vocally to press coverage of Morgan-Quitno Press' annual City Crime Rankings book, which ranked Birmingham 6th in their "Most Dangerous City" list based on data from 2005 uniform crime reports provided to the FBI. Kincaid called the listings "hype" and noted that many cities do not provide reports to the FBI, and that the FBI cautions against using their crime statistics to compare cities. (Bryant - November 1)

Birmingham's Vice/Narcotics Unit and the South Precinct Task Force conducted Operation "Taking It to the Streets" on October 14 and November 4, making numerous arrests.

In March 2007 the mother's of some homicide victims, organized as "Mothers Who Want the Violence to Stop", erected three billboards with photographs of their children and notice of the $5,000 rewards offered in each of those cases.
