Jerald Douglas Wade was 64 when he was found fatally shot under an interstate overpass in Birmingham, Alabama, on September 2, 2016. He had been a retired rancher from Texas and was described by people who knew him as a Mighty man of God. Law enforcement reclassified the matter from a death investigation to a homicide after the discovery.

A vigil was held at Linn Park where friends and community members remembered Wade as kind, helpful, and devoted to God and his family. Public information about any suspects, arrests, motive, or persons of interest has not been released, and the circumstances of the shooting remain unclear.

If anyone knew Jerald Wade, was near that overpass on September 2, 2016, or has information about his death, please share what can help the investigation.
