A white Ford Flex was found stopped in the middle of Alabama Adventure Parkway, near the I-20/59 exit ramp, in the early morning hours of May 15, 2024. Inside the vehicle was 59-year-old William Barry Brannon, a White male who had been fatally shot. Brannon was on his way to work when the shooting occurred.

Investigators treated the slaying as a random act of violence and asked the public for information about a white Ford SUV and another vehicle on I-20/59 northbound between 5 a.m. and 6 a.m. Detectives later identified a grey sedan as a possible suspect vehicle that was seen following Brannon’s SUV.

If anyone saw a white Ford SUV or a grey sedan on I-20/59 northbound that morning, or has other information about the shooting, please share what is known with the Bessemer Police Department.
