Jason Dior Showers was 20 when he was killed in Birmingham, Alabama, on July 5, 2008, one of two young men who died in the same shooting; Willie D. Daniels, also 20, was the other victim. The Birmingham Police Department investigated the double homicide and later arrested individuals whose names were described as familiar to law enforcement. One person charged sought youthful offender status but a judge denied that request, meaning that defendant was to be tried as an adult.

Jason’s family included his mother, Latanya Morris, his father, Angelo Showers, a twin brother, Justin Showers, and sisters Danielle Showers and Jasmine Smith. Funeral services were held on Friday, July 11, 2008, at Agape Missionary Baptist Church and he was buried at Elmwood Cemetery. The community reportedly rallied around the family in the days after the shooting.

If anyone knew Jason or has information about the July 5, 2008 shooting in Birmingham, please share what might help the investigation or the families.
