Nicklous Laterrious Marina, 24, of Birmingham died June 16, 2019, after gunfire during what investigators described as a robbery at a home on Thyer Circle in the Germania Park area. Reports say Marina was wounded during the chaotic confrontation and taken to UAB Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Two other people were reported wounded in the same incident, which local coverage framed as part of a larger surge of violence in the city that year.

Police said Marina and Sylvester had been committing a robbery when Sylvester shot Marina; authorities also filed two robbery charges against Sylvester in connection with the episode. Publicly indexed reporting linked to the case shows the arrest and charges but does not include a later widely published account of a trial, conviction, or final court disposition.

If anyone knew Marina, Sylvester, or was at the Thyer Circle home that night, please share what you remember or contact investigators with any information.
