David Edward DeRoncey, 28, of Grayson Valley, Alabama, was fatally shot on November 25, 2012, while driving home on Interstate 65 in Birmingham. He had stopped earlier at a gas station near Green Springs Highway and Oxmoor Road and was on the phone with his wife, Ashley DeRoncey, when an argument reportedly occurred between him and two unidentified men. Surveillance at the station did not capture the encounter and it is not publicly established what prompted the dispute.

Shortly after leaving the station, someone in another vehicle fired into David’s Chevrolet Blazer at about 7:00 p.m. His SUV came to rest against a roadway barrier near the University Boulevard exit; he was found slumped over the center console by Ashley about two and a half hours later and was dead. Investigators believed other motorists on the busy interstate might have witnessed the shooting, but no identifying leads had been made public. Publicly announced rewards totalling $6,000 were offered for information, and the case was later included in a homicide-playing-card outreach effort.

David was remembered as outgoing and devoted to his wife, an active member of the car audio community, and well liked by friends. Does anyone who was traveling I-65 near University Boulevard that evening or who knew David and his connections in the area have information to share?
