Grady Jenkins, 51, was shot dead while cutting grass in the Wylam community of Birmingham, Alabama, on the morning of November 1, 2017. Police found him on the mower he had been operating after someone approached him, opened fire, and fled in a vehicle. Authorities characterized the killing as targeted rather than random, but investigators said they did not believe it was connected to his job with the city’s Public Works department.

No arrests were made following the homicide and the motive remained unknown. The case later grew cold, and Jenkins’s family faced a legal dispute with the city over death benefits after his death. He is remembered by his family as a good father and a role model.

Did anyone in Wylam or the Birmingham area see or hear anything the morning of November 1, 2017 that could help explain why Jenkins was targeted?
