Demetrius Lamar Meat Reigns, 31, was killed on September 4, 2008, in the Inglenook neighborhood of Birmingham, Alabama. A youth coach for the McAdory Yellow Jackets’ 5- and 6-year-old little league football team, Reigns’ death was recorded as Birmingham’s 59th homicide that year.

Witnesses said two men dragged Reigns from a dark-colored Ford F-150 and left him on the ground before he was shot twice. The vehicle was reportedly familiar to the area, but the attackers fled and have not been identified. The case was the first Birmingham homicide featured on the television program The First 48, and investigators made public appeals for information; a February 2012 plea from then-Police Chief A.C. Roper urged community assistance. No arrests have been announced and the murder remains unsolved.

If anyone has information about that dark-colored Ford F-150, the scene in Inglenook on September 4, 2008, or the men seen that day, please come forward.
