On December 24, 2018, 28-year-old Jerika Vonshaye Manuel was fatally shot while working at a Piggly Wiggly in north Birmingham, Alabama. The store employee’s death prompted investigators to search for a former co-worker who was considered a suspect in the shooting.

A woman was later taken into custody in connection with Manuel’s death and ultimately pleaded guilty to the Christmas Eve killing, resolving the criminal case against that individual. Manuel, born January 14, 1990, was remembered at a celebration of life on January 5, 2019, at Metropolitan AME Zion Church and was buried at Elmwood Cemetery. Coworkers recalled her beautiful smile, respectful nature, and love for her children.

Did anyone who shopped at or worked in that Piggly Wiggly around December 24, 2018, notice anything that could still be helpful to readers?
