Franquita Cunningham was 49 when she was critically wounded by a stray bullet inside a home on Birmingham’s west side after midnight on October 31, 2014. Investigators say she was sitting on a bed in a back bedroom with a friend in the 100 block of 5th Avenue Southwest when shots were fired outside and one round penetrated the house, striking her in the head.

She was transported to UAB Hospital and remained hospitalized for weeks. The timeline in reports places her fight for life through late November; her death was reported the night of November 24 and her obituary gives the date of death as November 25, 2014, on the hospital’s palliative care unit.

Who in the neighborhood that night might have seen or heard something that would help piece together what happened?
