William Morris, a 58-year-old Black man, was shot and killed in his Birmingham, Alabama, home on April 22, 2019. He was asleep on his couch in the early morning hours when a fatal shot struck him; investigators at the time said the round appeared to have been fired from outside the house. It was unclear whether Morris was the intended target.

Friends and family remember Morris as a beloved community figure. The investigation was active in the days after the shooting, but no suspects or arrests have been publicly identified or apprehended. The same residence became the scene of another family homicide nearly four years later, which has renewed attention on Morris’s still-unsolved death.

If anyone knew William, his movements that night, or has information about activity outside the home on April 22, 2019, please come forward.
