On July 8, 2022, a vehicle fire at Fraternal Cemetery on Sheridan Road in Birmingham led officers to a completely charred sedan. Skeletal remains were found in the passenger seat, and the Jefferson County Coroner’s Office identified the victim as Cedric Lenard Terry, a 56-year-old Black/African American man from Birmingham.

The discovery prompted a homicide investigation. In the initial stages the cause and manner of Terry’s death were not immediately clear. Authorities have not publicly identified any suspects or announced arrests and have asked the public for information to help resolve the case.

Does anyone who lived or worked near Sheridan Road in July 2022 have information about a burned vehicle or unusual activity that might help investigators?
