TruVontae William Hall, 19, was found shot to death beside a vehicle in eastern Birmingham on the evening of Monday, September 25, 2023. A Black male known to family and friends as Roadrunner, he was remembered for a big smile and a loving, caring personality.

His death came during a violent summer in Birmingham when law enforcement was contending with a sharp rise in homicides between July and September 2023. Two men, Damien McDaniel and Hatarius Woods, were later identified by the Birmingham Police Department as allegedly responsible for roughly 30 percent of the city’s homicides that summer; however, public reports and coverage have not linked them to Hall’s killing. As of this writing no suspects have been publicly identified or arrested in connection with his murder.

If anyone knew TruVontae, saw him on September 25, 2023, or has information about what happened, please share what you know with investigators.
