Police say Thomas Winborn, 25, killed his 23-year-old brother named Tommy Winborn during a domestic altercation.

Original Story :
A man is in custody and undergoing questioning in the early-morning slaying of his brother in the Kingston community.
The suspect turned himself in to Birmingham police headquarters today, said homicide Sgt. Scott Thurmond. He will be held in the city jail pending formal arrest warrants.
South Precinct officers were called to 4418 Ninth Ave. North at 1:15 a.m. on a report of a stabbing. They found Tommie Winborn, 23, on the front porch of the apartment he shared with his mother. He had been stabbed.
Winborn was taken to UAB Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Police spokesman Sgt. Johnny Williams Jr. said the victim had had a fight with his brother shortly before he was stabbed.
Kingston resident Danielle Embry, 30, said he is a close friend of both the victim and the suspect. "They are like brothers to me," Embry said today.
Embry said the fight between the brothers started when the suspect was disrespectful to his mother, which made Winborn angry. That's when Winborn was stabbed in the neck with a knife, Embry said.
"I don't how it got to the point it did," Embry said. "It's kinda shocked me, and tore me up."
