A suspect has been charged in the double homicide of a man and woman killed in a hail of gunfire at a southwest Birmingham home last year.

Carillo-Jemison was booked into the Jefferson County Jail Saturday. He remains held without bond.
Multiple shots rang out just after 8 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 21, 2024, at a house in the 700 block of 30th Street S.W.
