Silas Partman was 23 and from Birmingham, Alabama, when he was fatally shot in the early hours of June 20, 2018. Police responded about 1:00 a.m. to The Park at Callington apartment complex off Aspen Run after a burst of gunfire; they found two shooting victims. Partman died at the scene and a woman who had also been shot was taken to UAB Hospital and survived.

News coverage consistently identified Partman as the man killed and later lists of Birmingham homicides and gun violence trackers included his death, yet no widely available reports lay out what led to the shooting or who else was present.

Available coverage does not name a suspect, show an announced arrest, or link any public charge to Partman’s killing. Obituary notices emphasize the loss felt by family and friends, describing him as a son, nephew, and loved one.
