John L. Malone, also identified as John Langer Malone, was a 25-year-old Black man from Birmingham who was found dead on the porch of a home at 1869 St. Charles Court in west Birmingham in late May 2007. His death was counted among Birmingham’s homicides for 2007, and an obituary records the date of death as May 21, 2007, with memorial services at Nichols Temple A.M.E. Ensley and burial at G. W. Carver Cemetery.

What remains most visible are family notices and guest-book messages that remember him by nickname, note his smile, and mourn the loss; his obituary lists three daughters, parents, siblings, and other relatives.

Anyone who knew John Malone, his family, or who has information about the circumstances of his death is asked to come forward.
