Shortly after 3:25 a.m. on Thursday, November 2, 2023, Jamal Ali Abdulahe, 44, was fatally shot during what investigators describe as a targeted attack at the Marathon gas station on Pinson Valley Parkway in Birmingham. Abdulahe, a white male from Gardendale, Alabama, was sitting in a vehicle with a female companion when another vehicle pulled up alongside and occupants opened fire. Abdulahe attempted to drive away but, suffering from an apparent gunshot wound, crashed off the roadway.

Officers from the East Precinct and Jefferson County Sheriff’s deputies found him inside the wrecked car; he was pronounced dead at the scene. The female passenger sustained injuries in the crash and was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening wounds; she is believed not to have been struck by gunfire. The Birmingham Police Department is investigating the homicide; no arrests or suspect identifications have been announced and Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward for information.

Is there anyone who saw the shooting or the vehicles involved that night who can help investigators?
