George Cook Jr. was fatally shot while sitting in his vehicle on the 500 block of 17th Street Southwest in Birmingham. The shooting occurred in the late evening of March 18, 2009, though his death is officially recorded as March 17, 2009. He was 34 years old at the time.

Witnesses reported seeing a silver Chevrolet believed to be connected to the assailants leaving the scene shortly after the gunshots. Despite that lead, detectives have been unable to identify or arrest anyone, and the case has gone cold. The Birmingham Police Department continues to ask anyone with information to come forward.
