A homicide investigation is underway in Linn Park in Birmingham.
City workers cleaning the park in front of City Hall around 8 a.m. found a callous man on the ground near the south side of the park. The location was close to the 700 block of 20th Street North.
Officer Truman Fitzgerald said the Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service responded to the scene and declared the victim dead. The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office also responded, and Fitzgerald said the evidence suggested the man was killed. The cause of death is pending autopsy.
Several passengers who remain in and near the park were visibly upset. “This man didn’t hurt anyone,” said one woman.
