Fredrick O’Neal Harris, a 63-year-old Black man and United States Army veteran, was found dead on the side of a road in Lipscomb, Alabama, on February 6, 2019. Investigators determined he had been slain and that his body had likely been at the location for at least one night. He had last been seen on February 2, 2019, in the Center Point area; a FedEx driver discovered the body four days later.

Harris was remembered as a husband, father, grandfather, and uncle. The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office is treating the death as a homicide, and law enforcement and the family have asked the public for help. Crime Stoppers of Metro Alabama has offered a cash award for information that leads to an arrest. No suspects have been publicly identified or arrested, and the case remains unsolved.

If anyone knew Harris, saw him in Center Point in early February 2019, or has information about his movements between February 2 and February 6, please come forward.
