On the night of March 15, 2019, 39-year-old Rodregous Gurly was fatally shot in Birmingham, Alabama. Officers initially responded to reports of shots fired in the 200 block of 51st Street North, where a 27-year-old woman, Imani Means, told East Precinct officers she had been robbed. Separately, South Precinct officers were notified that a man had been brought to a hospital in a private vehicle with a gunshot wound; that man was Gurly. He died of his injuries at the hospital.

Investigators from both precincts linked the two strands of the night’s events, and Means became the primary suspect. She was arrested and charged with Gurly’s murder. The exact circumstances between Means and Gurly before the shooting, and how the initial robbery claim fits into the timeline, remain unclear.

If anyone knew Rodregous or saw activity in the 200 block of 51st Street North the evening of March 15, 2019, please share what was observed with investigators.
