Victor Alberto Jeronimo Garcia, 27, was found dead inside a parked vehicle on the morning of June 3, 2023, in the 2500 block of Snavely Avenue Southwest in Birmingham’s Powderly area after a 911 call reported an unresponsive person. Responding officers observed obvious signs of trauma but could not immediately establish the exact cause of the fatal injuries, and the medical examiner was relied on to determine manner and cause. Later reporting described the case as a fatal shooting, and Garcia was pronounced dead at the scene rather than surviving to reach a hospital.

Police described the investigation as active and said no one was in custody in the immediate aftermath; early coverage named no suspects. Detectives canvassed the neighborhood and sought witnesses and surveillance to reconstruct Garcia’s final hours. If anyone was in the area of Snavely Avenue on June 3 or has information about who last saw Garcia alive, please come forward.
