William Morris, a 58-year-old Black male, was tragically shot and killed in his Birmingham, Alabama, home on April 22, 2019. The incident occurred in the early morning hours while he was asleep on his couch. Friends and family remember him as a beloved figure in the community.
According to reports, the preliminary investigation by the Birmingham police suggested that the fatal shot was fired from outside of the house.
At the time of the incident, it was unclear whether Morris was the intended target of the shooting. The investigation into his death was active in the days following the shooting, but information regarding any potential suspects or arrests has not been made publicly available.
The home where Morris was killed was the scene of another family tragedy nearly four years later when his cousin was also found slain inside the same residence. This has brought renewed attention to the still-unsolved killing of William Morris. As of now, the case of his death remains without a resolution, and no suspects have been publicly identified or apprehended.
