Antonio Jamal Bass was 29 when his remains were found in a field near a Jefferson County highway on September 15, 2020. A Birmingham native born February 10, 1991, he was a father of two who had recently started a trucking business, Bass Transportation, and was described by family as someone who loved fast cars and supported Black Lives Matter.

Antonio was reported missing in early September 2020, and his family learned of his disappearance through social media posts before his remains were recovered. The death was ruled a homicide, but five months later, on what would have been his 30th birthday, no arrests had been announced and the case remained unsolved.

His mother Pamela Bass has spoken publicly about the daily pain of her loss and her view that the Birmingham Police Department’s heavy workload may have slowed progress. No suspects have been publicly identified. If anyone knew Antonio, saw suspicious activity near Jefferson County highways in mid-September 2020, or has information that could help, please come forward.
