Case Information:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Charlie Jay McCord<\/strong> was a 35-year-old father of eight and a well-known entrepreneur in Montgomery, Alabama<\/a>. On October 14, 2014, he was shot and killed inside his business, “Mr. Barber Man,”<\/mark> located on Mt. Meigs Road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shooting occurred around noon in a busy residential and commercial area. Despite being rushed to a nearby hospital, Jay passed away, leaving his family and the community in a state of shock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case Details:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The tragedy unfolded on the 17th birthday of Jay\u2019s oldest son. Jay had spent the morning with family before opening his shop for the day’s clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Witnesses described a male suspect entering the shop, firing multiple rounds, and then calmly walking out. No money was stolen, indicating that the shooter\u2019s primary motive was the life of the business owner.<\/p>\n\n\n

Timeline of Events:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At approximately 11:55 a.m., surveillance footage captured a person of interest walking toward the shop. A mysterious dark-colored sedan was also spotted idling in the vicinity just moments before the gunfire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By 12:15 p.m., emergency responders arrived at the 1500 block of Mt. Meigs Road<\/mark>. However, the suspect had already fled the scene, vanishing into the neighborhood without a trace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investigation:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Montgomery Police Department<\/a> has maintained an active file on this homicide for over a decade. In 2022, cold case investigators released updated photos of a vehicle of interest seen near the shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Detectives are currently working with the FBI to re-examine forensic evidence using modern technology. They believe someone in the community holds the final piece of the puzzle needed for an arrest.<\/p>\n\n\n
