Angel Esteban Hernandez, 37, was shot to death in the early hours of February 28, 2022, on Interstate 65 North near the Finley Boulevard exit in Birmingham. Officers were dispatched about 1:55 a.m. on a report of a person shot and found Hernandez inside a Chevrolet Trax that had come to rest in the emergency lane. The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office identified him and reports list him as being from Owensboro, Kentucky, a detail that adds the sorrow of a man dying far from home on a Cold roadside in North Birmingham.

If anyone saw activity on I-65 near Finley Boulevard that night or has information about Hernandez, please share what is known with investigators.
