A fellow tenant of a Birmingham boarding house checked on 46-year-old Marvin Speights late in March 2007 and found him dead from a gunshot wound. His body was discovered in Speights’ room at a two-story home in the 1200 block of 11th Avenue North; police estimated he had likely been deceased for at least a day before being found. Authorities described the circumstances as unclear and began an investigation into the fatal shooting.

No public details about suspects, arrests, or a motive have been provided in connection with the death. The case appears to have produced few leads in the years since, leaving many questions about what happened that night.

Does anyone have information about Marvin Speights or memories of the neighborhood in March 2007 that could help investigators?
