ABC 33/40 - Birmingham News, Weather, SportsCrime Stoppers Feb. 18: Tips needed in Feb. 9 homicide

This week's Crime Stoppers unsolved homicide report focuses on a February 9th homicide when police found the body of 44-year-old Isaac Spencer in a pool of blood. Since then, there have been very few clues as to who is responsible for his death. 

Birmingham Police Chief A.C. Roper hopes someone is now willing to provide a tip to put the killer in jail.

From Chief Roper:

"I'm Birmingham Police Chief A.C. Roper, and the victim is Isaac Spencer. He was 44 years old.

What happened to him remains unclear, and we're hoping someone will come forward to help.

A neighbor heard gunshots on February 9th. That neighbor found Mr. Spencer's body.
He was lying in a pool of blood at a house on the 800 block of 23rd Street Southwest.

We need your help to shed light on this investigation.  If you've heard anything about this crime, you can trust Crime Stoppers to listen and to keep you anonymous.

Isaac Spencer can't speak for himself. We need someone to speak up for him and help us get his killer in jail for good.

Give us a call at 205-254-7777. Remember: you will remain anonymous.  We'll give you a private code number, and that keeps you from having to give your name.

There's a cash reward if your tip leads to an arrest.  With Crime Stoppers, I'm Birmingham Police Chief A.C. Roper."

In addition to telephone tips, you can text a tip by texting the code 7777, along with your tip, to the word CRIMES.  Or, you can submit an encrypted tip by going to www.birminghamcrimestoppers.org and clicking on the "submit an online tip" link.

No matter which method you choose, you will remain anonymous.

The cash reward in this case is offered to the first person whose tip leads to an arrest.  Even if you receive the cash reward, you still will not have to give your name -- only the code number.
