Nicholas Smith, 23, of Birmingham, Alabama, died after a shooting that began on a Friday night and was treated by detectives as a homicide. Officers were called to a home near the intersection of 44th Street and 12th Court North, where blood on the sidewalk suggested a struggle or someone trying to move after being shot, but Smith himself was not at the scene when police arrived.

Investigators say Smith was driven toward a hospital in a private vehicle by a relative and his girlfriend, but he later died from the gunshot wound. Police described the death as a homicide and said they were seeking the person responsible; reporting from that time did not name a suspect or report any charges.

Does anyone who was in that neighborhood that night or who knew Nicholas have information that could help investigators?
