On March 10, 2019, 28-year-old Gregory Monte Snodgress was found fatally wounded in the roadway in the 1700 block of Montevallo Road Southwest in Birmingham. A call reporting a person down came in about 12:05 a.m.; Birmingham Fire and Rescue pronounced Snodgress dead at the scene. The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office later ruled the death a homicide.

Investigators linked this killing to another shooting that occurred about half an hour earlier in the 900 block of 46th Street North, in which a woman was wounded but survived. Two days after the slaying, police announced the arrest of 21-year-old Cortey Slay, charging him with capital murder in Snodgress’s death; evidence from both scenes was cited and robbery was suggested as a motive. Slay was held in the Jefferson County Jail without bond.

Does anyone who was in those neighborhoods that early morning have information about either shooting or about Gregory, known to family as Pezzy?
