On June 14, 2021, a violent argument inside a home in Birmingham’s Woodlawn area spiraled into gunfire, and by the end of the night Clint B. Dean, a 30-year-old man, was dead. The shooting happened at a house on the 900 block of 47th Place North, turning what began as a private domestic dispute into a homicide scene with neighbors and first responders converging on a residential street.
Investigators described the circumstances as a domestic argument that ended with Dean being shot.
The death was counted among Birmingham’s homicides for 2021, one more name added to a year marked by repeated, often sudden violence across many neighborhoods.
What followed was the familiar quiet that comes after the sirens fade: questions that hang in the air while a case is sorted into evidence, interviews, and reports. In the publicly available record tied to the homicide listing for that year, no arrest is noted for Dean’s killing, and no suspect or suspects are identified in that source. Without an announced arrest, there are no publicly documented charges, court proceedings, trials, or convictions connected to his death in the materials available from the sources used here.
