In the winter of 2020, in Birmingham, Alabama, a 50-year-old woman named Lashawn Williams Parrish was found deceased in her North Birmingham residence. The discovery was made on Monday, December 28, just before 11:30 a.m. at her home on 12th Street North.
Responding to the scene, the Birmingham Police Department immediately launched a homicide investigation into her death. From the outset, investigators suspected a domestic motive was at the heart of the tragic event. It was later confirmed that Parrish's death was the result of gun violence.
In the initial stages of the investigation, authorities stated that they had no suspects in custody. Publicly available information regarding the case does not indicate that any arrests have been made since the incident occurred. The investigation into the death of Lashawn Williams Parrish remains ongoing, and authorities have encouraged anyone with information to come forward. Her funeral services were held in early January 2021.
