Cardarrius Derrell Bryant was 30 when he and 28-year-old Deforest Chanier Kines Jr. were found fatally shot inside a vehicle in the 500 block of Zinnia Lane in Birmingham on Thursday, July 13, 2023. East Precinct officers responded around 10 a.m. after a shots-fired call; the vehicle was described as riddled with bullets. Birmingham Fire and Rescue pronounced both men dead at the scene.

The Birmingham Police Department is treating the incident as a double homicide. No suspects or arrests have been publicly identified in connection with the shootings, and the case appears to have grown cold. Bryant’s mother, Cara, has offered $5,000 of her own money in addition to a $5,000 Crime Stoppers reward to encourage new leads. She described her son as a mama’s boy who enjoyed football and was good with math; he was a father of three.

If anyone has information that could help bring answers for Bryant’s family, please come forward.
