Birmingham: A City Under Siege The new year has barely begun, and Birmingham is already facing a wave of violence that has left the community shaken. In less than 24 hours, four lives have been tragically lost to senseless violence, marking a grim start to 2025. Among these tragedies was the city’s first homicide: a man delivering pizza was found outside a residence on the east side, fatally shot. He was pronounced dead at the scene. This is just one of four devastating losses that have occurred in such a short time, painting a chilling picture of a city under siege—not by external forces but by the violence within our own neighborhoods. This is not just a headline—it’s a crisis. Birmingham, once celebrated for its history, culture, and resilience, is becoming synonymous with loss and grief. What has brought us to this point? What will it take to turn things around? We cannot afford to stand by and watch this cycle continue. It’s time for action, for dialogue, for solutions. What do you think needs to be done to address the violence? How can we reclaim our city and ensure safety for everyone? Let’s start the conversation. Change begins with us.
