Cornelius Rogaria Mosley, 34, was shot and killed in a daylight attack just after 12 noon on January 5, 2009, at First Avenue South and Goldwire Street in Birmingham. His brother was wounded in the same incident when a gunman opened fire on the two men. Authorities said the motive was not immediately clear but noted investigators were looking into a possible link to a stabbing the previous week in which the suspected shooter had been the victim, suggesting retaliation may have played a role.

A 27-year-old suspect was arrested within hours and police said charges were pending; later reports do not provide the suspect’s name, the specific charges, or the outcome of any prosecution. Mosley’s funeral was held January 10, 2009, at Thirgood Memorial C.M.E. Church, and he was buried in Oakland Cemetery.

If anyone knew Cornelius or has information about the 2009 shooting, please share what was seen or heard.
