Ed Franklin Harris, 49, was fatally shot on January 8, 2022, on the 1600 block of Matt Leonard Drive SW in Birmingham, Alabama. First responders found him lying in the roadway and he was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators believe Harris was the intended target.

The same volley of gunfire also killed 16-year-old Yasmine Wright, who was being driven home by her aunt after working at the Birmingham Zoo. Wright was struck by a stray bullet and later died at UAB Hospital. Witnesses described a possible suspect as a tall, slender Black male who left the area in a black Lexus and was armed with a rifle. A person of interest was interviewed but no charges were filed.

The Birmingham Police Department is still seeking information that could lead to an arrest. If anyone knew Ed or Yasmine, saw activity on Matt Leonard Drive SW that evening, or has information about a black Lexus or the described shooter, please come forward.
