Aaron Whitt, a 19-year-old Black man from Birmingham, Alabama, was found shot dead on the sidewalk in the 2800 block of Wilson Road Southwest in the first minutes of June 24, 2013. A passing driver called for help shortly after midnight; officers discovered Whitt already deceased and the scene was sealed as detectives worked to reconstruct what happened.

Police said Whitt was known to spend time across the street in the Kimbrough Housing Community and believed he was being chased when he was shot—pursued from behind as if trying to escape something. Why he ran, who chased him, and whether any words were exchanged remain unanswered.

If anyone knew Aaron, saw activity on Wilson Road that night, or has information about who chased him, please share what is known with investigators.
