Patrick Lenore Grayson, a 37-year-old African-American man, was found dead near the roadside on S.J. Bennett Drive in Birmingham, Alabama. His body was discovered on January 31, 2007, and an obituary released by his family lists his date of death as January 30, 2007. Authorities determined he died of gunshot wounds and treated his death as a homicide.

The case grew cold despite an investigation. No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced. Law enforcement and Crime Stoppers have periodically appealed for information to help resolve who was responsible. If anyone knew Patrick or has information about his movements or that January day, please share what can help bring answers.
