    Trial date set for Birmingham police detective involved in 2020 ‘love triangle’ murder

    JEFFERSON CO., Ala. (WIAT) — A trial date for the former Birmingham Police detective involved in the April 2020 ‘love triangle’ murder has been set for July 25, 2022.

    Alfreda Fluker, 40, is charged with the murder of Kanisha Necole Fuller and the attempted murder of Mario Theodore White, another Birmingham Police detective she was romantically involved with at the time, according to police.

    Fuller was found suffering from multiple gunshot wounds in an unmarked Birmingham Police vehicle when police responded to reports of shots heard near Pearson Avenue the night of Friday, April 10, 2020. Fuller died the next morning after being transported to UAB Hospital.

    Police Chief Patrick Smith called the shooting domestic in nature, a “love triangle gone bad.”

    Last June, Fulker was denied bond and still remains in jail.

    According to the court filing, the state of Alabama has until August 14, 2021 to notify Fulker’s defense if they intend to seek the death penalty.

    Inappropriate conduct by prospective jurors leads to mistrial in ex-Birmingham detective’s capital murder case


    By Carol Robinson
    AL.com

    Misconduct among some prospective jurors in the capital murder trial against a former Birmingham police detective led to a surprising mistrial Tuesday afternoon.

    Jury selection began Monday morning in the trial against 41-year-old Alfreda Fluker, who is charged in the April 10, 2020, shooting death of Kanisha Nicole Fuller and attempted murder of Mario Theordor White. Police at the time labeled the deadly the result of a “love triangle.”

    Fluker and White were car partners on the Birmingham Police Department’s Crime Reduction Team.

    They also had been involved romantically for about a year when police say Fluker found White with Fuller in White’s city vehicle in Germania Park.

    Fluker allegedly became enraged and fired 15 shots from her department-issued handgun.

    Fuller died a short time later at UAB Hospital. White was not injured and later resigned from the department.

    Jefferson County Circuit Judge Alaric May declared the mistrial about 2 p.m., saying conduct of some of the prospective jurors made it impossible for him to seat a fair and impartial jury.

    May did not elaborate on what he called juror “mishaps,’’ but there were multiple issues from more than one potential juror during the course of the jury selection process.

    An incident from one of the prospective jurors over Tuesday’s lunch break, described as “inappropriate conduct” toward another prospective juror, led to May stopping the entire process.

    Fluker has remained in the Jefferson County Jail without bond since her April 11, 2020, arrest. She was immediately fired from the police force.

    Defense attorneys and prosecutors did not comment following the mistrial.

    A new trial date has been set for Nov. 14.

    Former Birmingham police detective on trial for capital murder was ‘cold, calculated, exact,’ prosecutor says

    By Carol Robinson
    AL.com

    A former Birmingham police detective on trial for capital murder was described by a prosecutor Tuesday as “ICE.”

    “Intentional, cold, calculated, exact,” said Jefferson County Assistant District Attorney Eric Hamilton of 42-year-old Alfreda Fluker.

    “A killer -that’s what she is.’’

    Fluker went on trial this week for the April 10, 2020, shooting death of Kanisha Nicole Fuller and attempted murder of Mario Theodore White, who was also a Birmingham police detective.

    Police at the time labeled the deadly shooting the result of a “love triangle.”

    Fluker and White were partners on the Birmingham Police Department’s Crime Reduction Team. They also had been involved romantically for more than a year when police say Fluker found White with Fuller in White’s city vehicle in Germania Park.

    Fluker allegedly became enraged and fired 15 shots from her department-issued handgun.

    Fuller died a short time later at UAB Hospital. White was not injured and later resigned from the department.

    Fluker has remained in the Jefferson County Jail without bond since her April 11, 2020, arrest. She was immediately fired from the police force.

    Fluker was supposed to go on trial in September, but Jefferson County Circuit Judge Alaric May declared a mistrial, citing juror misconduct.

    In opening statements Tuesday, Hamilton portrayed Fluker as an experienced and highly-trained detective who knew exactly what she was doing when she found White and Fuller in White’s vehicle that night in the park.

    But Erskine Mathis, one of Fluker’s attorneys, said the deadly shooting happened in the heat of passion and there was nothing intentional about it.

    “She will tell you she didn’t shoot to kill anybody. She didn’t shoot to injure anybody,’’ Mathis told the jury of 10 men and three women.

    “She thought she was shooting high.”

    Hamilton took jurors through what investigators say happened that Friday night in the west Birmingham park.

    It was about 11:50 p.m. when Fuller and White met at the park.

    As White and Fuller were in White’s vehicle, they saw headlights approach them. He said White was in the driver’s seat, and Fuller in the passenger’s seat.

    “Gunshots ring out. Not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven, not eight, not nine, not 10, not 11, not 12, not 13, not 14 but 15 gunshots rang out,’’ Hamilton said.

    “They’re all directed towards the car that Kanisha is sitting in with Mario.”

    White began to drive off, headed to the exit of the one-way-in, one-way-out park.

    White stopped at the entrance, grabbed his gun and waited for the dark SUV to get to the exit as well.

    “He is waiting for whoever just did this shooting while the victim lay in the front seat dying’' Hamilton said.

    White got out of the vehicle, and then Fluker approached and did the same. White says to her, “What are you doing?”

    The two argued, and then Fluker fled the scene.

    White then called 911 to say he needed the medics. Fuller had been shot in the thigh, the arm and the head.

    “Not only has Mario called 911, there are others who called 911 to report that there was a shooting, they heard multiple gunshots and that they heard a man and a woman arguing,’’ Hamilton said.

    When police arrived, White told officers that “several Black males” did the shooting.

    “But the 911 calls from other people would differ,’’ Hamilton said. “Why did he do it? Because he’s in a relationship with her. He’s trying to cover for her.”

    More police arrived.

    “The blue lights flashing off the sides of the houses, the red lights flashing off the side of the houses, all to say that something terrible has happened here,’’ he said.

    More officers arrived, and Fuller was taken to UAB Hospital where she was pronounced dead.

    Birmingham homicide detectives also responded and launched their investigation.

    Det. Kristopher Hatcher, Hamilton said, began to notice a contradiction in the stories White told, and the stories told by witnesses who said they heard a man and woman arguing.

    White was taken to headquarters for question, where he again told detectives that he didn’t know who did the shooting.

    “He maintains (that story) for about 10 minutes…until Det. Hatchers says, ‘You’re about to get yourself in trouble. You better tell us the truth,’’' Hamilton said. It was then White told detectives that Fluker was the shooter.

    White is not charged in the case.

    “Birmingham homicide talked to Mario and they found something they already knew but didn’t want to believe – that somebody they know could be that cold, that callous,’’ Hamilton said.

    “They step aside and call in the State Bureau of Investigation.”

    Hamilton said Fluker had been assigned to the Birmingham Police Department’s Crime Reduction Team.

    “Those are the policeman’s policemen. When you need to find somebody, when you need to locate them, there’s one person who can get the job done – that’s what she’s good at,’’ he said. “She’s got some special training that’s different than the average policeman.”

    Hamilton said the evidence will show that a nearby license plate reader captured Fluker’s undercover vehicle in the area at the time of the shooting.

    He also said evidence will show that her city gun, as well as her city computer, police radio and personal electronics all disappeared that night.

    “Everything with technology is gone,’’ he said. “She’s the technology expert.”

    “Kanisha will never speak on this side of Heaven again. Not because she did anything wrong, not because she asked for that,’' Hamilton said. “It’s all because (Fluker) is intentional, she’s cold, she’s calculated, she’s exact and she shot that gun 15 times.”

    “Kanisha can’t speak but I speak for her,’’ Hamilton said. “Today is the day of accountability.”

    “At the conclusion of this trial, there will not be a question as to who did it, there will no be a question as to where it happened, there will be no question as to how it happened because the evidence will answer that,’’ he said.

    “The only question that needs to remain is will you hold her accountable?”

    Mathis, Fluker’s attorney, said he expects the evidence to show that White and Fluker had lived together for years and that many people actually thought they were married.

    “She’s going to tell you they had an exclusive relationship,’’ he said.

    “When she got over there and saw them in the car, he wasn’t in the driver’s seat. He was in the passenger’s seat and (Fuller) was in the passenger’s seat too,’’ Mathis said.

    “They were sitting on top of one another in the same seat. She got infuriated.”

    “She was outraged. When it was over, she goes down there to see if anybody was hurt,’’ Mathis said. “Mario knocks her down on the ground and takes her pistol, which she hasn’t seen since.”

    Mathis said that White, following the shooting, called one of friends to the scene and they began taking stuff out of the city vehicle until police stopped them. “We don’t know if they put everything back or not,’’ he said.

    “She didn’t intend to hit anybody. She didn’t intend to kill anybody,’’ Mathis said. “She was extremely reckless and foolish in what she did, but she was absolutely outraged that he would do her this way. For a short time, she didn’t know what was going on.”

    Mathis told jurors the judge, after testimony concludes, will instruct them about of heat of passion.

    “That means something happens that get you so out of your mind that before you have time to collect yourself and realize what’s going on, you have done the dirty deed,’’ Mathis said.

    “That’s heat of passion. And it calls for something we call heat of passion manslaughter which is different than capital murder and different than murder.”

    “Heat of passion manslaughter can occur when one spouse catches the other spouse in the act of intercourse with somebody else or it can occur when somebody, because of some occurrence that has happened to enrage the individual and they’ve gone nutty for a minute,’' he said. “In that situation you don’t even have to be married. It’s reckless manslaughter.”

    “When all this evidence is over, you will find her not guilty of capital murder, not guilty of murder, not guilty of assault, but guilty of manslaughter,’’ he said.

    Former Birmingham police detective guilty of capital murder in woman’s ‘love triangle’ death

    By Carol Robinson
    AL.com

    A jury took less than an hour to find a former Birmingham police detective guilty in the “love triangle” shooting death of a woman she found with her common law husband.

    Alfreda Fluker, 42, was convicted of capital murder in the 2020 Germania Park slaying of 43-year-old Kanisha Nicole Fuller, and attempted murder of Mario Theodore White, who was Fluker’s police partner and common-law husband.

    “Nobody is above the law,’' said Jefferson County District Attorney Danny Carr following the verdict. “Today justice was served, and we hope that the family of Kanisha Fuller can find peace and live on in her memory.”

    The jury of three women and nine men began deliberations Friday morning.

    Within 10 minutes of deliberations, they asked Jefferson County Circuit Judge Alaric May to clarify the difference between attempted murder and first-degree assault in the White charge, but had no questions regarding the charges involving Fluker.

    Fluker, a mother of three daughters, remained stoic as the verdict was read. The judge had cautioned family members on both sides to refrain from showing any emotion in the presence of the jury.

    Fuller’s family cried silently, and Fluker’s family appeared stunned at the capital murder verdict.

    Sentencing is set for February. Fluker will be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

    Jefferson County Assistant District Attorneys Eric Hamilton and Will McComb prosecuted Fluker.

    Fluker was represented by defense attorneys Erskine Mathis and Scott Brower.

    “We are happy with the verdict, we are happy for the family of Kanisha Fuller,’’ McComb said. “I think the jury made the right call on a very, very difficult case.”

    “I think the right decision was reached in this case,’’ Hamilton said.

    Asked if it was tough to prosecute a police officer, McComb said, “I wouldn’t say it was difficult prosecuting a police officer who did was she did,’’ she said. “The absolute violation of any standard that she swore to in becoming a Birmingham police officer, we didn’t have a problem with it.”

    Mathis said Fluker will appeal the verdict. He and Brower said they believe the jury should have been able to consider other charges, such as reckless murder and reckless manslaughter.

    The jury considered the charges of capital murder, murder, and heat of passion manslaughter.

    The said Fluker was overwrought throughout the trial but handled the verdict as well as could be expected.

    “I think she resigned herself to the fact that she was going to prison for something,’’ Brower said. “We told her there was a good chance this is what the verdict could be, so I think she prepared herself.”

    “It’s just a tragic, tragic thing,’’ Mathis said. “Nobody wins in a situation like this.”

    Prosecutors in the four-day trial said Fluker was “intentional, cold, calculated and exact” when she found Fuller and White together in White’s city vehicle in the Birmingham park that Friday night and emptied her service weapon on the SUV.

    Defense attorneys, however, said Fluker was overcome with anger when she found Fuller and White having sex in the SUV and fired in the heat of passion, not intending to hurt or kill anyone.

    Former detective sentenced to life in prison after 'love triangle' shooting

    by Sumner Harrell

    JEFFERSON COUNTY, Ala. (WBMA) —
    A former detective with the Birmingham Police Department was sentenced Monday after being convicted for capital murder and attempted murder.

    According to court records, Alfreda Janapril Fluker was given a sentence of life without parole for the 2020 shooting death of Kanisha Necole Fuller. Fluker was sentenced to life for the attempted murder conviction.

    Authorities said the shooting was the result of a love triangle that included Fluker, Fuller, and Mario White, another BPD detective who both women were seeing.

    Fuller was shot multiple times while inside an unmarked police car with White in the Germania Park neighborhood.

    Fluker spent 15 years with the Birmingham Police Department.
