Kerry Jamar Whitmore was 20 when he was shot and killed on August 5, 2008, in the parking lot of Springville Landing Apartments along Huffman Road near Springville Road on Birmingham’s east side. Officers who responded to the scene found Whitmore wounded in the complex’s parking area after gunfire turned a summer day into a scene of emergency response.

Investigators quickly focused on someone close to Whitmore. Reports from the time say his brother, Kevin McMillian, was taken into custody at the scene. Detectives investigated how the weapon was handled and how the fatal shot occurred, ultimately concluding the shooting was not accidental. McMillian was charged after that determination.

If anyone knew Kerry, was at Springville Landing Apartments that day, or has information about what happened, please share what is known with investigators.
