Carlos Mines was 26 when he was found fatally shot on February 6, 2021, in Pratt City, Birmingham. Officers responding to a report of a person down arrived just after 2 a.m. on Dugan Avenue near Legion Field and discovered Mines slumped over in the driver’s seat of his Dodge Charger, which had come to rest against a fence. He had sustained a gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene by Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service paramedics.

Investigators concluded the shooting did not occur where the car stopped; evidence suggested Mines had been shot elsewhere and drove some distance before the vehicle, still in drive, rolled to a stop. At the time of reporting there was no publicly released motive or identified suspect, and no arrests or major breakthroughs have been announced. The case remains unresolved.

If anyone has information about Carlos Mines, his movements that night, or the shooting, please share what you know with investigators.
