The fatal shooting of a 28-year-old man at a Birmingham apartment complex has been ruled justifiable.
Birmingham police late Friday announced no criminal charges will be filed in the Jan. 2 death of Jayvonne David Banks.
The shooting happened at 5:09 p.m. that Wednesday at Adona apartments on Aspen Run.
South Precinct officers were already at the complex on an unrelated call when they heard shots fired. They encountered two men – one of them was down on the ground, the other armed.
Banks had collapsed on the sidewalk in front of a building after being shot. He was pronounced dead on the scene at 5:40 p.m.
The officers took the man with the gun into custody for questioning without further incident.

The investigation showed both of the men were connected to a woman who lives in the complex. The woman’s brother reportedly used a rifle to fatally shoot Banks, who was his sister’s boyfriend.
Police marked at least 14 shell casings at the scene….
