Mikylah Mays, a 3-month-old Black female, died in the early morning hours of May 24, 2007, in Birmingham, Alabama from blunt force trauma to her head and body. Her identical twin sister, Jamyilah, was found with severe injuries that required treatment at UAB Hospital and survived. The twins’ father, Michael May Jr., found Mikylah unresponsive around 6:30 a.m. and the parents, Joycelyn Smith and Michael May Jr., rushed both infants to the hospital. Mikylah was pronounced dead; Jamyilah was admitted for serious injuries.

Birmingham police questioned both parents after the discovery, but no charges were filed and they were released. Law enforcement continued to investigate, and in 2013 the case was highlighted in a Cash for Crooks segment seeking public leads. No suspects have been publicly identified or arrested, and there have been no further public updates on the status of the investigation.

Who has any information about the twins or about that May 2007 morning in Birmingham?
