Sam Mitchell, 57, was found fatally shot beside a vehicle on Crestmore Avenue in Huntsville, Alabama, on the evening of August 23, 2018. He had been shot multiple times. Mitchell was a father of five boys and a grandfather, remembered for his down-to-earth nature and love of cooking.

Investigators said Mitchell had also been shot at two months earlier at his home, though they were unsure whether that earlier shooting was connected to the August killing. The Huntsville Police Department carried the investigation into the homicide and was awaiting a completed forensics report from the state lab.

By February 2019 no arrests had been announced and no suspects publicly identified. The family made a public plea for anyone with information to come forward, saying they believed people knew something about the shooting but had not spoken up.

If anyone knew Sam, was in the Crestmore Avenue area on August 23, 2018, or has information about the earlier shooting, please share what you know with investigators.
