On December 13th, as he was leaving a store on Avenue E, he was fatally shot. Investigators believe that two suspects had followed him from inside the establishment before opening fire as he attempted to flee. The shooting left a family and community searching for answers that have remained elusive for years.
In the two decades that have passed since his death,
the case of Warren Dewayne Sims has grown cold. Despite the initial investigation and the belief that two individuals were responsible for his murder, no arrests have ever been made. The Birmingham Police Department revisited the case on the 20th anniversary of the homicide, seeking to generate new leads and bring a sense of closure to his loved ones. The identities of the two suspects who were seen fleeing the scene remain unknown to the public, and the motive behind the fatal shooting is still unclear.
