Jahbrell Leon Sturgeon was a 26-year-old Black man from Birmingham whose life ended in a burst of gunfire late on the night of December 5, 2017, inside an apartment in the Collegeville area. Officers called to 3090 29th Court North found him shot inside the residence; the Jefferson County Coroner’s Office pronounced him dead at the scene at 11:02 p.m. A second man was also shot in the same incident and taken to a local hospital with a gunshot wound to the head, though early reports indicated his injuries were not believed to be life-threatening.

Authorities described the case as an active investigation and said no suspects were in custody; no suspect or suspects were publicly identified in accessible reporting. Sturgeon’s death was reported among Birmingham’s homicides for that year, part of a grim local tally that left families awaiting answers. If anyone had information about what happened at the apartment that night, can you share details with investigators?
