A massive, deadly shootout at a downtown Birmingham intersection on the Fourth of July is believed to have been a retaliation killing from a 2021 homicide that was ruled justifiable.New details released in the case indicate that Boone fatally shot Travio Ollison, a family member of Martez Ollison, three years ago. He was not charged with any crime because it was ruled self-defense.
After hearing testimony from Birmingham homicide Det. Kristopher Hatcher, the judge ruled there was enough evidence to send the case to a grand jury for indictment consideration and denied Ollison bond.North Precinct officers responded to a call of a person shot at the intersection that day, which is in the middle of an area that includes Park Place Apartments, Marconi Park, and the Jones Valley Teaching Farm.Boone was found about 15 yards away in a grassy are outside of an apartment building.
A woman who posted a Facebook Live video of the aftermath reported seeing at least one of the shooters - wearing a ski mask - hanging out a window firing the gun.Hatcher testified that investigators spoke with Boone’s girlfriend, who told them that she believed his death was in retaliation for Travio Ollison’s death in 2021. She pointed detectives to posts on Facebook “celebrating” Boone’s death.
Ollison’s attorney, Ontario Tillman, said during the hearing that there was nothing to directly implicate Ollison in Boone’s death – no eyewitness who would pick him out of a lineup and no DNA.
