In the summer of 2008, Quintez L. Wilson, a 34-year-old man from Birmingham, Alabama, was fatally shot on July 6th. Another man, 42-year-old Antonio Lamont Smitherman, was also killed in the same incident. Sources indicate that Wilson died as a result of gun violence.
Details surrounding the specific circumstances of the shooting, including the location and what may have led to the violence, are not readily available in public online records.
The case is noted in a list of Birmingham homicides for that year, suggesting that it was a double homicide investigation.
There is no information available in online sources to indicate that any arrests have been made or that any suspects have been identified in connection with the deaths of Quintez Wilson and Antonio Smitherman. The case's inclusion in a news report about families of murder victims advocating for a more robust cold case unit suggests that the investigation may have gone cold and remains unsolved.
Thirteen years prior to his death, Wilson had been one of several individuals arrested and charged in connection with the 1995 murder of Jefferson County Sheriff's Deputy William G. Hardy. However, the charges against Wilson and some of the other co-defendants were eventually dropped.
