Demetrius Jones, 24, was wounded in a daytime shooting on July 21, 2011, at an apartment complex in the 1100 block of Cotton Avenue in West End, Birmingham. He was taken to UAB Hospital in critical condition and died there on Tuesday, July 26. His obituary placed his funeral in Birmingham.

Witnesses described Jones and several other men sitting on a balcony shortly before noon when unknown people drove by and opened fire. Investigators said the attackers’ vehicle was believed to be a hunter green, four-door, square-bodied car. A separate shooting erupted moments later a couple of blocks away on McMillon Avenue, and police believed the two episodes were connected. Authorities publicly appealed for tips and said no arrests or charges had been announced when the case was reclassified as a homicide and when Crime Stoppers revisited it in early August 2011.

Who in West End might remember that hunter green, square-bodied car or the people inside it?
