Rakim Rashad Hawkins was 23 when he was fatally shot on Sunday afternoon, October 9, 2016, at the corner of Ninth Avenue and 44th Place North in the Kingston neighborhood of Birmingham, Alabama. He had been among a group of men playing a dice game when an unidentified person opened fire. Three people were hit; all were taken to UAB Hospital. Hawkins arrived in critical condition and was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. The two other victims survived and were reported in stable condition.

Witnesses said the shooter fled in a vehicle immediately after the shooting. Law enforcement has not publicly identified any suspects and the motive remains unknown. The investigation is ongoing and authorities are asking the public for help.

If anyone was at that corner on October 9, 2016 or has information about the vehicle or shooter, can you contact investigators with what you remember?
