Christian Callins was 24 when he was fatally shot in Birmingham, Alabama, on November 23, 2008, in what authorities described as a robbery attempt. His death was one of several violent incidents tied to a crime spree in the city during 2008–2009 that investigators later linked to a local gang.

Investigators connected Callins’s murder to gang leader Martez Seay. One of Callins’s accomplices, 27-year-old Gregory Shelton Jr., was killed the day after Callins’s murder; authorities believe Shelton was killed because he failed to discard a cell phone tied to the Callins case. Seay later pleaded guilty to capital murder in 2011, accepting responsibility for the deaths of Callins, Shelton and others, and received life without parole.

Does anyone have information about Christian Callins, his life in Birmingham, or leads about the events surrounding November 2008?
