Andrew Martin, a 22-year-old White man from Leeds in the Birmingham area, died on February 8, 2013, after being found slumped inside his 2001 Honda Prelude at the intersection of 41st Street North and Messer-Airport Highway. A citizen alerted a South Precinct Task Force officer who discovered Martin unresponsive; Birmingham Fire and Rescue took him to UAB Hospital, where he was pronounced dead and hospital staff determined he had been shot.

Investigators said Martin frequented the Avondale Housing Community, but the exact location where he was shot was not immediately known, leaving unclear how he came to be wounded and sitting at a busy intersection as traffic flowed around him. Detectives later publicly described the case as unsolved and said they suspected Martin had gone to meet someone in an alley and that person was responsible, suggesting a planned encounter rather than a random act. No arrests or charges have been reported in connection with his death.

If anyone knew Andrew, saw him around Avondale, or has information about where he might have been shortly before he was found at 41st Street North and Messer-Airport Highway, please share what can help the investigation.
