On October 10, 2021, 13-year-old Corday Byrd was found in the 800 block of North Burbank Drive in Montgomery, Alabama, with a fatal gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene. The shooting occurred in the early evening on a Sunday and left the neighborhood and community reeling.

Investigators identified a juvenile suspect who was taken into custody and charged with manslaughter. Because the suspect was a minor, the case moved into the juvenile justice system and the suspect’s name and other identifying details were not released publicly, leaving aspects of the incident and its motivation unclear.

If anyone has information about Corday, the events that evening, or what led to the shooting, please come forward to help the family and investigators find answers.
