Timothy Darius Biffle, 37, was found dead inside a silver Chevrolet Impala that had crashed into a utility pole in the 1700 block of Eastern Valley Road in unincorporated Jefferson County, Alabama, on November 23, 2021. First responders initially treated the scene as a traffic crash, but Biffle had sustained a gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators determined the shooting occurred at the intersection of Eastern Valley Road and First Street in Bessemer. Evidence indicates Biffle tried to flee after being shot and crashed roughly a half-mile from where the shooting took place. The death was ruled a homicide. Authorities identified a person of interest and later charged 27-year-old Tradon Tyez Bivins with Biffle’s murder; Bivins was held at the Jefferson County Jail.

If anyone witnessed the shooting, saw the Impala between the intersection and the crash site, or has other information, please share what is known with investigators.
