On a late morning in June of 2022, a silver Mercury Marquis was traveling down Carson Road in the Center Point area of Jefferson County, Alabama. Inside the vehicle were two adults and a six-year-old child, their day tragically and irrevocably altered in an instant. At approximately 11:50 a.m. on June 23rd, the car was besieged by gunfire from an unknown assailant.
The barrage of bullets caused the driver to lose control, and the vehicle veered off the roadway, ultimately crashing.
When authorities from the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office arrived at the scene in the 1600 block of Carson Road, they discovered a scene of chaos and tragedy. One of the adult occupants, a male identified as Nathan Nigel Wilson, was found deceased.
The investigation into the death of Nathan Nigel Wilson remains ongoing, and as of now, no arrests have been publicly announced, nor have any suspects been officially named. Law enforcement officials have not released a motive for the shooting. Information regarding the identities of the other adult and the child who were in the car with Wilson at the time of the incident has not been made public. Crime Stoppers of Metro Alabama has solicited the public's help for any information regarding the shooting, offering a cash reward for tips that lead to an arrest.
