A nighttime shooting in Birmingham’s Ensley neighborhood left 27-year-old Michael James Weeks of Brighton dead on June 17, 2019. Neighbors in the 4800 block of Court M heard gunfire and found Weeks wounded inside a vehicle that had apparently rolled backward into another car. Bystanders pulled him from the vehicle and emergency crews arrived; Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service pronounced him dead at 8:31 p.m.

The Birmingham Police Department opened a homicide investigation and listed the death as the city’s 55th homicide of the year. Initial reports named no suspects and no arrests were announced. The case remains unsolved, and Michael’s family continues to seek answers.

If anyone saw or heard anything in the 4800 block of Court M on the evening of June 17, 2019, please come forward with information.
