Two separate homicides involving men named Jenkins are recorded for Birmingham in the materials provided, but this thread focuses on Dexter Earl Jenkins, whose death is noted in summer 2008. Dexter Jenkins, 36, of Birmingham, died on June 25, 2008. He was a member of Faith Chapel Christian Center and attended Unity of Birmingham; memorial services were held in early July. The brief notice names his survivors — mother, father, a brother, and seven children — but gives no details about how he died, and it does not mention any investigation or persons of interest.

The lack of public detail about circumstances or investigative activity leaves open basic questions about what happened and whether any leads existed at the time. If anyone knew Dexter, his family, or has information about his death, please share what is known so it can be added to the record.
