Kencasiko Bernard Bryant, 42, was found dead in his Fairfield, Alabama, home on June 1, 2020. The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office determined he had been shot to death. Bryant’s 2018 gray Chevrolet Malibu was missing from the residence when his body was discovered.

Investigators located the Malibu in the Ensley area of Birmingham and recovered evidence from the car that focused the probe on 19-year-old Carterious Garcell Dees. Dees told detectives he had met Bryant through a social media app and the two arranged to meet at Bryant’s home. According to Dees, a disagreement escalated and he shot Bryant; Dees said he then took Bryant’s wallet and left in the Malibu.

On June 16, 2020, detectives arrested Carterious Garcell Dees and charged him with murder and first-degree theft of property; he was booked into the Jefferson County Jail with bonds totaling $110,000. Are there witnesses or local readers who knew Bryant or saw the Malibu around Ensley in June 2020?
