Stanley Edward Gibson Jr., a 32-year-old Black man from Center Point, Alabama, was found dead alongside Mountain Top Loop Road in Pell City on August 21, 2021. Deputies were called at about 3:15 p.m.; investigators and the county coroner located his body in a wooded area between the 1000 and 1100 blocks. Authorities said he had apparently been there for several days before discovery.

An autopsy completed on August 23 determined he died from a gunshot wound, and the St. Clair County Sheriff’s Office publicly identified him and said his death was being treated as a homicide on August 24, 2021.

If anyone knew Stanley or has information about how he came to be on that stretch of road, can you share what you know?
