Frank Jackson, a 60-year-old Black man and grandfather, was shot while seated in his car in an alley in the 300 block of 6th Avenue South in Birmingham on May 5, 2025. He was found unresponsive with an apparent gunshot wound, taken to UAB Hospital, and pronounced dead shortly before 1:00 p.m. The Birmingham Police Department recorded his death as the city’s 28th homicide that year.

Investigators say an unknown person fired multiple shots into Jackson’s vehicle and fled. A person of interest was taken in for questioning early on but no arrest followed. Police later released surveillance video showing someone in khaki pants and a dark hoodie they hope the public will identify, and detectives described the case as an active investigation with motive still under review.

If anyone saw the shooting, the person in the released footage, or has other information that could help identify the shooter, contact the Birmingham Police Department.
