In a shocking revelation in the city of Birmingham, Alabama, the late Marlin Yelder was found at an illegal dumping site earlier this month. His family is currently seeking answers and justice for his untimely demise and is urging anyone with information to come forward.
Marlin Yelder’s twin sister, Marilyn Yelder, spoke on behalf of the family. Throughout the week since the discovery of her brother’s corpse, Marilyn has continued to grapple with her feelings of sadness and helplessness. “I wish at the very least, I could have saved him. I wish I could make this go away,” she expressed in a heartbreaking revelation. Marlin, who was discovered with gunshot wounds on 48th Avenue North, left his family and friends in a state of anguish and confusion.
Even in their sorrow, the Yelders are not able to communicate personally to Marlin just how much he meant to them. “I want him to know that I love him and that I wish I could have done more and that I wish I could have helped him,” an emotional Marilyn confessed. The family referred to Marlin affectionately as “Sleepy”, describing him as a beloved man with a passion for working on cars. Now they plead with anyone who might have any helpful information to come forward and assist in the ongoing investigation.
Concern over increasing crime rates in Birmingham has further been validated by this sad incident. “The individuals responsible for Marlin’s death, they are the issue in Birmingham right now. We have people that walk among us that have no respect for human life,” declared Birmingham Police Officer Truman Fitzgerald, urging for public cooperation in resolving the case. He stressed the importance of information sharing, warning against silence that might potentially enable further harm in the city.
In Fitzgerald’s own words, “Often times these cases depend heavily on the public’s help, coming forward. The person or persons that are responsible for Marlin’s murder did this and they think that they are going to get away with it.” If you have any information at all, it is crucial to share it with the police or reach out to Crime Stoppers to remain anonymous.
This unfortunate incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of community vigilance and cooperation in crime prevention and resolution. As investigations continue, residents of Birmingham are encouraged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity. The city will only be as safe as its community members make it, thus everybody’s contribution is essential.
