On September 4, 2021, a dispute inside Superior for Men, a business at 9164 Parkway East in Birmingham, Alabama, escalated into gunfire just after 4 p.m. Two men died: 26-year-old Reginald Curtis Crawford Jr., a Black male, and 21-year-old Cornelius Ja’Shawn Hilliard. Two other adult males were wounded in the same shooting.

Police searched for four suspects after the shooting. A pursuit of a suspect vehicle ended in a crash near Tarrant-Huffman Road at Linthicum Street in Tarrant; three people were arrested at the crash site. A fourth suspect, described as a Black male with a brown complexion wearing a white t-shirt with a black emblem near the collar, black pants, and black shoes, ran from the scene and was believed to be armed. Authorities later charged 19-year-old Jureil Dowdell and a 17-year-old juvenile with murder in Hilliard’s death. The case against Crawford’s death was still under review by the Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office.

If anyone was at Superior for Men that afternoon or has information about the fourth person who fled, please come forward.
