On the evening of May 16, 2019, in Birmingham, Alabama, 20-year-old Sanquez Derico Recarlos Morgan was fatally wounded by gunfire in the 4100 block of Fifth Avenue in the Wylam neighborhood. The shooting was the city’s second homicide in less than two hours that night. Known affectionately as Quez, he lived in Birmingham and his death left a void for family and friends.

His mother, Felicia Morgan, learned of the shooting in a phone call at 10:23 p.m. that evening; she has described a close bond with her son, having been a young mother at 15, and says she prays for the person responsible. There have been no public announcements of arrests or identified suspects, and the investigation remains unresolved.

If anyone knew Sanquez, his routines, or saw activity around Fifth Avenue in Wylam that night, please share what happened.
