On the night of June 28, 2013, in the Wylam neighborhood of Birmingham, Alabama, 17-year-old twins Johnathan Berry and his brother Jeremi were shot and killed during a violent home invasion at their Attalla Street residence. Three male suspects forced their way into the house. The twins’ mother arrived shortly afterward, tried to flee in her car, and was shot by the assailants; she crashed into a neighbor’s yard and was expected to recover.

Birmingham Police West Precinct officers were dispatched around 11:30 p.m. after reports of gunfire and a car crash. Investigators believed robbery was the motive. In the investigation that followed, three men were identified and charged in connection with the murders: De’Aries Ruffin, Fredrick Goldsmith, and Brandon Johnson.

What information do readers in the Birmingham area have about the Wylam neighborhood on that night or about the twins’ lives that could shed light on this case?
