A suspect has been charged in the weekend shooting death of a Birmingham man in Montevallo.

Devven Darnell Johnson, 31, of Calera, is charged with murder in the slaying of 26-year-old Cedric Jaquese Carter. He is also charged with certain persons forbidden to possess a firearm.

Montevallo police were dispatched at 9:38 p.m. Saturday to a report of a person shot in the 200 block of Graham Street.

When they arrived, they found Carter still breathing on the ground between two vehicles. He had sustained a single gunshot wound to the head.

Officers turned the victim on his side to clear his airway from blood, according to court records.

Montevallo firefighters and Ems arrived on the scene and started life-saving measures on Carter, which were unsuccessful. Carter died on the scene.

Multiple witnesses identified Johnson as the shooter, records state, and investigators obtained warrants against him on Monday.

Johnson was taken into custody Tuesday with help from the U.S. Marshals Gulf Coast Regional Fugitive Task Force.

He is being held without bond in the Shelby County Jail.

Court records show Johnson pleaded guilty earlier this year to felony drug possession. He received a five-year suspended sentence.

According to the Alabama Bureau of Pardons and Paroles, Johnson also owes more than $3,500 in court-ordered fines and has not made a payment toward that balance since being placed on probation in February.

Shelby County prosecutors on Tuesday filed a motion to revoke Johnson’s probation.

The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with additional information is encouraged to contact the Montevallo Police Department.
