Mario T. Sparks, a 30-year-old Black man from the Birmingham area, was killed by gunfire on November 30, 2015, on Wintergreen Avenue in the Brownville community. The first call to police came about 9:44 p.m.; officers arriving in the 5400 block found Sparks already dead from an unknown number of gunshot wounds. Investigators worked the scene under emergency lights, collecting evidence and asking the neighborhood for help in piecing together what happened.

In the days after the shooting, police announced an arrest and named Cedric Young of Birmingham as a suspect, charging him with murder and holding him in the Jefferson County Jail on $250,000 bond. Authorities said a witness provided key information that led them to identify Young. Does anyone in the area remember that night or have information about what happened on Wintergreen Avenue?
