Nehemiah Williams Wren, 20, was found dead from a gunshot wound inside a wrecked vehicle near an abandoned field in the 4100 block of 46th Avenue North in Birmingham on January 13, 2025. Police pronounced him dead at the scene and opened a homicide investigation to determine how he came to be in the car and who was responsible.

On April 27, 2025, the Birmingham Police Department’s Special Operations Bureau Tactical Unit took two people into custody in the 2000 block of Woodrow Avenue in Tarrant, Alabama, in connection with Wren’s killing. Authorities identified one arrestee as 26-year-old Landon Jones III of Tarrant and the other as a 17-year-old juvenile. Detectives presented their findings to the Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office, and capital murder warrants were issued for both; they are being held in the Jefferson County Jail without bond pending further legal action.

What did anyone in the Birmingham or Tarrant area know about Wren’s activities or whereabouts in the days before January 13?
