BIRMINGHAM — A man who reportedly lost his job and committed suicide in a downtown Birmingham parking deck Wednesday has been identified.
Jefferson County Deputy Coroner Bill Yates identified the 41-year-old man as Todd Eugene Walker, of Pinson.
Walker worked for an engineering company near the scene but was reportedly fired Tuesday. The parking deck where Walker shot himself with a shotgun inside his red Ford F-150 truck is on Fourth Avenue North.
On Wednesday morning, police and a SWAT team arrived on the scene, blocking off multiple blocks. Witnesses and police reported hearing a single gunshot.
