Suspects Charged In Grayson Valley Homicide

BIRMINGHAM, AL — A shooting in the Grayson Valley area last Thursday night that resulted in one fatality and another victim hospitalized has now netted two arrests. Jefferson County Sheriff’s deputies have tracked down 25-year-old Kendall Bernard Banks and charged him with capital murder in connection with the August 22 homicide. Zachery Durante Danner, 22, turned himself in Monday morning.

Thursday at 11:44 p.m. the Sheriff’s Office received a call stating that two people had been shot at a home in the 5400 block of Nottingham Drive. Deputies arrived and found a man and wife suffering from gunshot wounds. The wife was transported to a local hospital where she was listed in serious condition. The husband was also transported to a local hospital but he succumbed to his wounds.

Evidence shows that some type of domestic dispute occurred and turned into a robbery, and the husband and wife were shot.

Banks is charged with capital murder with a bond set at $100,000, and attempted murder with a bond at $60,000. Detectives also obtained warrants for capital murder and attempted murder for Danner, who reportedly turned himself in Monday morning.
