No, and at this point I doubt anybody ever will be. There is a strong snitches end up in ditches culture where he is from.
Law enforcement agencies were aware of and interested in the many trips Bear was regularly making between Birmingham and Starkville. In a concerted effort to avoid throwing shade his way it will be left at that.
Yep, no chance it gets solved, especially with the attitude towards police this year. The killer will go free and probably kill someone else at some point and/or be dealt with by "street justice" or be killed because of some other dealing. It's a sad deal and wish Bear could have stayed out of there.
There is a small chance somebody with knowledge of the murder will catch a serious charge and offer some information in an attempt to improve their plea deal. But yea, most likely if it hasn't been solved at this point, it's not going to.
There were also some very obvious (to an alarming extent) things on social media that painted a pretty clear picture of that situation.

There are enough murders in west Birmingham that there is a good chance the killer is already dead.
I'm not saying you're wrong but it's more evidence that people should be bringing attention to social injustice if the only people in this country being paid to solve murders aren't solving murder cases because they are ******** about someone protesting in Portland or because an NBA player wore a BLM shirt. Please don't turn this thread political and get it locked.
The Birmingham police are doing the best they can. But if there is no evidence to work with then that is all they can do.
Also so far this year Birmingham has had 97 homicides. The police there are overwhelmed, and the city is run by, lets just say, poor leaders.
1.) You are the cal ripken of terrible and stupid takes, so I will give it to you for your consistency.
2.) The attitude towards police isn't going to stop police from working to solve murders, it's going to stop people from cooperating with police and limit the ability of police to operate in communities where it's likely the people who have knowledge of the murder are located.
3.) I like the post structure of [Make stupid political take] followed by [asking other people to not get political]
To say the least, and it's been that way for years. That's why the city has gone from 360,000 to just over 200,000 since 1950. They'll be the second largest city in the state in a year or two. I don't know what the solution is, or even if there is one. If what's posted here is true about Jackson, they both have similar situations, only Jackson is on a much smaller scale.
People from certain factions and backgrounds don’t talk to police and never have or will...regardless of “political turmoil” or any other nonsense. That isn’t some new 2020 thing.
My number isn't counting the other municipalities like Bessemer and Tarant. The metro areas numbers are worse
You're not very good with population numbers. I know you like to say that Huntsville is bigger and better than Birmingham, but the Birmingham metro population is twice Huntsville's. It's going to take you a while to catch them.
Huntsville metro isn't even as big as Jackson yet.
Birmingham's population is 209k and Huntsville's is 200k, so he was pretty much dead on. The Birmingham-Hoover MSA is 1.1M and Hunstville MSA is only 455k. But even though that gives a lot more potential market for Birmingham to tap into, it also in many ways is going to make it harder for Birmingham to fix itself, as it means there are better options outside of Birmingham for people to live in.
Dude, you have no idea the obstacles that law enforcement face each and everyday trying to solve murders such as this. You are so backwards in your thinking, it proves you know nothing of what is really going on in the streets. No clue!
you turned it into a political thread.
SMH. Well obviously. That happens with cities that are older. Many factors at play, and the economy circumvents it all, and Huntsville is winning that one. I trust you can make these distinctions.
My comments are more based on Rocketdawg's continual misrepresentation of a certain few cities.
You're probably right. I can't help but think the mistrust is growing, but hopefully that's just the small percentage social media mirage.
This is the equivalent of a child trying to start a game of tag with an adult, tagging said adult and then immediately quitting the game. I'm not going to respond to the childish political drivel that YOU are starting. I said nothing political and certainly wouldn't be interested in a discussion on a political topic with you, notoriously the worst poster on this board. Have a nice day.
Is that really how you read what was written? This might be the worst take I’ve read on any topic and any medium ever. And then to ask the poster not to turn it political? The lack of self awareness, is astounding.
That’s awful. I think this has more to do with people not helping the police rather than people not trusting the police.
Woodfin is doing (at least, trying to do) a good job. Still a lot to clear out, but significantly better than it was 2 years ago.
