The Takeover
Dude was out here like a real life Wee-Bey 
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. —
In a YouTube documentary earlier this year, Damien McDaniel was pretty outspoken about the motive behind some of Birmingham's gun violence.
“A (expletive) will do the same thing to you, so why not do it to them? Why show them compassion when they ain't go show your folks no compassion,” McDaniel said.
Now, the Fairfield man stands accused of killing 11 people and shooting 30 others this summer.
“From July to September, these individuals were responsible for upwards to 30% of our homicides. Birmingham is most definitely a safer place with these individuals behind bars,” Birmingham police officer Truman Fitzgerald said.
While Birmingham police claim McDaniel had help, the majority of the victims are linked to his gun.
After digging through court records, we mapped out the deadly crime spree police connect to McDaniel.
Starting July 13 on 37th Street North, McDaniel and Hatarius Woods are accused of opening fire on a birthday party at the Trendsetters venue.
Four people died and 10 more were injured.
Exactly one month later, investigators believe McDaniel and Woods gunned down 61-year-old Charlie Moore in his Vice Hills apartment.
Fast forward five weeks, and police accuse McDaniel of shooting Diontranet Brown outside the 604 Lounge on Ninth Street North.
Then, within just 48 hours, hundreds of rounds were fired in the heart of the Five Points South entertainment district.
McDaniel stands charged with killing four more people and injuring 17 others in a mass shooting that made national headlines.
Finally, the very next day, McDaniel, Dmarco Beck, Ny’quan Lollar and Larry Rollins were all accused of shooting Jamarcus McIntyre to death during a robbery.
While police are not releasing a motive in these cases, the prospect that McDaniel was a hired killer is being explored.
“We most certainly are investigating some of these homicides as actual pay-for-hire murders,” Fitzgerald said.
