Naborro Radford, a 23-year-old Black man from Birmingham, was killed in a shooting in the early hours of February 23, 2013, near the 800 block of 45th Street North, not far from Gibson Elementary School. Police were called about 1:15 a.m.; officers found him lying on the grass with an apparent gunshot wound and Birmingham Fire and Rescue pronounced him dead at the scene.

Witnesses reported hearing several gunshots and then saw a gray or light-blue Lincoln Town Car with large wheels leaving the area after the shooting. Radford had reportedly just been leaving his grandmother’s house when the shots rang out, turning an ordinary moment into a fatal event for his family. Months later Crime Stoppers segments noted investigators were still seeking leads.

No arrest was announced and no suspect was publicly identified; the case remained an unsolved homicide investigation with authorities appealing for information. If anyone knew Naborro, saw that Lincoln Town Car, or has information about the night of February 23, 2013, please come forward.
