Marlon Hale, a 45-year-old Black man and longtime resident of his Birmingham neighborhood, was killed during a violent home invasion on the night of Monday, December 4, 2017. Two men entered his home in the 2800 block of 32nd Place Southwest at about 10 p.m., forced Hale to lie on the floor and a significant struggle took place. Blood was later reported on the refrigerator, walls, carpet and a lamp. One intruder shot Hale in the leg; the pair fled without taking anything.

Officers found Hale able to speak and he gave a description of the attackers before being taken to UAB Hospital, where he died from his injuries hours later. Police describe one suspect as wearing blue jeans and a black hoodie and the other in a grey sweatshirt. His daughter, Shakeithia Hale, has urged anyone with information to come forward.
