A second suspect has been charged in the August shooting death of a 26-year-old man in Birmingham.

Quenton Christian Washington, 20, is charged with capital murder in the Aug. 12 shooting death of Quindarius Allen, and attempted murder in the wounding of a second person, according to court records made public Thursday.

Washington was booked into the Jefferson County jail last month on unrelated charges and remains held without bond.

North Precinct officers responded at 12:15 a.m. that Tuesday to a Shot Spotter alert in the 900 block of Fifth Avenue North.

Multiple shots had been fired.

When they arrived, they found the two victims inside a vehicle that had been struck by the gunfire.
