Alfreda Fluker, a former Birmingham police detective, went on trial this week for the April 10, 2020, shooting death of Kanisha Nicole Fuller and attempted murder of Mario Theodore White, who was also a Birmingham police detective.
A former Birmingham police detective on trial for capital murder was described by a prosecutor Tuesday as “ICE.”
But Erskine Mathis, one of Fluker’s attorneys, said the deadly shooting happened in the heat of passion and there was nothing intentional about it. White stopped at the entrance, grabbed his gun and waited for the dark SUV to get to the exit as well. Det. Kristopher Hatcher, Hamilton said, began to notice a contradiction in the stories White told, and the stories told by witnesses who said they heard a man and woman arguing.
“Those are the policeman’s policemen. When you need to find somebody, when you need to locate them, there’s one person who can get the job done – that’s what she’s good at,’’ he said. “She’s got some special training that’s different than the average policeman.” Mathis said that White, following the shooting, called one of friends to the scene and they began taking stuff out of the city vehicle until police stopped them. “We don’t know if they put everything back or not,’’ he said.
