Anthony Dewayne Baldwin, 42, was found dead in the early hours of Friday, September 18, 2020, after a vehicle crash on the 400 block of 12th Avenue in Midfield, Alabama. What looked at first like a traffic wreck was reclassified when investigators observed indications that Baldwin had been shot, and the Jefferson County Coroner/Medical Examiner’s Office later identified him from the vehicle.

Investigators described the case as one still being pieced together: authorities were tracking Baldwin’s movements, seeking witnesses who might have heard gunfire or seen the vehicle before it crashed, and trying to determine whether the shooting occurred at the crash site, along the route, or earlier that night. Reporting about motive, a timeline leading up to the wreck, and any suspect information has been sparse. No arrests or named suspects have been reported in connection with Baldwin’s death.

If anyone witnessed Baldwin’s vehicle that night or has information about where he was before the crash, please share what is known with the Midfield investigators handling the case.
