A juvenile has taken into custody in the November shooting death of a man in a southwest Birmingham neighborhood.

The 15-year-old boy was arrested in the Nov. 26 slaying of 30-year-old Jerrod Excell Turner.

Birmingham police are not releasing the suspect’s name because of his age.

Officer Truman Fitzgerald said detectives presented their evidence to Jefferson County Family Court officials, who issued a pickup order on the teen. He was taken into custody Friday morning by the U.S. Marshals Gulf Coast Regional Fugitive Task Force and is being held at the G. Ross Bell Youth Detention Center.

A motive has not been disclosed.
