BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA: A man was gunned down at an ATM in Homewood, Birmingham on September 11, minutes after he left the church.

Justin Hendrix’s mother Marcella Stevenson while speaking to AL.com revealed that Hendrix probably knew that he was going to die.
According to the publication, the 35-year-old Justin Hendrix was fondly known as Jelly Bug. He had been in and out of prison over the past 15 years but he seemed to be religious after getting released from prison two months ago. In the latest update, the mother said she wanted retaliation killings to stop after her son got killed outside Homewood ATM. According to WBRC, she said, “I don’t want the next mother to have to go through what I’m going through because of what her child did to someone else’s child. I want them to just stop killing.”

According to Sgt John Carr, the incident happened at 12.43 pm at the Wells Fargo Bank at 325 West Valley Avenue. The attack took place at the stand-alone ATM at Wells Fargo on West Valley Avenue in Homewood. Hendrix’s mother assumed that her son might have stopped by the ATM to get cash since he had work the following day and had to be there early.
Speaking on her son’s death Hendrix’s mother asserted, “He had just said to my nephew going into church that morning that death is the ultimate surprise- you never know when you’re going to die.” Marcella Stevenson further shared, “I think he knew he was going to die. He felt like he was going to die and the only way they were going to get him was when he was coming from church.”
According to the publication, a picture of the gunman standing right outside a black vehicle was released by Homewood PD. The cops marked at least 10 shell casings in the bank parking lot, which is right across the street from Homewood Police Department headquarters. The gunman fled from the scene in his black SUV. Whereas, the victim’s vehicle is being examined by investigators and remains in the parking lot.
