On the evening of August 29, 2019, 78-year-old Louis Zicarelli was shot and killed inside his Birmingham, Alabama, home in the Roebuck Springs community. Officers responded about 9:30 p.m. to a report of a person shot and found Zicarelli unresponsive in the front room with an apparent gunshot wound; Birmingham Fire and Rescue personnel and the Jefferson County Coroner pronounced him dead at the scene. His wife was at home and was not physically harmed.

Investigators learned Zicarelli had been shot after answering a knock at the front door. The family’s car was taken after the shooting. Detectives identified a suspect connected to earlier activity at the house: police say the stolen vehicle was driven by 18-year-old Eric Kindred, who had allegedly burglarized the Zicarelli home earlier the same day. Kindred was apprehended after a pursuit of the stolen car on September 11 and held in the Jefferson County Jail; a grand jury later returned indictments for capital murder, burglary, and theft of property.

If anyone knew Louis Zicarelli, his movements that day, or saw the stolen vehicle in the neighborhood on August 29, what information can be shared with investigators?
