Arthur Lee Swift, 60, was found dead in the roadway on the evening of November 30, 2021, in the 2700 block of 29th Avenue North in Birmingham. Police initially responded to a report of someone down in the street, possibly struck by a vehicle, but discovered Swift with an apparent gunshot wound; Birmingham Fire and Rescue pronounced him dead at the scene and the Jefferson County Coroner later identified him.

Early reports described the incident as a fatal shooting discovered in the roadway rather than a traffic crash, and authorities said the investigation was underway with no suspects in custody.

If anyone saw activity on 29th Avenue North that night or has information about Arthur Swift’s death, please come forward to investigators.
