I-59 Shootout: Murder Suspect Dies In Hospital

BIRMINGHAM, AL - A shooting on Interstate 59 November 10 resulted in a 29-year-old man dead at the scene, and another man dead 12 days later. The shootout happened last Saturday afternoon, and Birmingham police and fire medics responded about 3:30 p.m. to the Shell service station on Oporto-Madrid Boulevard and Fifth Avenue North.

A report by Alabama Media Group said the victim,25-year-old Tavalues Andarius Johnson, died Nov. 22, just before Birmingham police charged him with capital murder in the death of Edward Tyurri Matthews.

Johnson and Patrick Dewayne Webb, 21, were charged in Matthews’ death. Also Tuesday, Sgt. Johnny Williams said 21-year-old Gabrielle Lashay Moore is charged with discharging a firearm into an occupied dwelling. Moore, Johnson and Webb were all in the gray sedan together, according to reports.

Police have not released a motive in the shootout and subsequent slaying but there had been an ongoing dispute between the two, possibly over a female. Prior to the deadly shooting, police were already investigating Webb for the Metro PCS robberies after receiving several tips following the release of surveillance photos from the holdups.
