Vincent Webster Cole, a 20-year-old Black/African American man from Bessemer, Alabama, was shot and killed in the afternoon of April 4, 2018, on the 200 block of Berkley Terrace in the Southside Homes neighborhood. Police found him already dead when they arrived after a call just before mid-afternoon.

Investigators say the suspects did not linger and fled the scene in a dark-colored Chevrolet Trailblazer with a light-colored door on the rear driver’s side, a detail reported as important to the inquiry. The next day Bessemer police arrested two men, Ladarius Burts and Willie Jenkins III, charging both with capital murder and holding them without bond.

If anyone knew Vincent, saw activity on Berkley Terrace that afternoon, or remembers the described vehicle, please come forward with information.
