BIRMINGHAM, AL – Family and friends gathered on Saturday for a heartfelt balloon release in memory of Rodreckus Johnson, a young man whose tragic killing remains unsolved after 22 years. The vigil not only honored Johnson’s memory but also served as a rallying cry for justice as the Johnson family continues their fight to shed light on a case that has left many questions unanswered.
The event attracted a diverse crowd, united by their love for Rodreckus and their determination to seek answers. Attendees released balloons into the sky, each representing their hopes and prayers for clarity in a case that has haunted the Birmingham community for over two decades. The poignant moment was captured in a video that showcases the emotional weight of the occasion.
“We are here not just to remember Rodreckus but to remind everyone that his story is not over,” said a family member during the vigil. “We want justice, and we will keep pushing for it until we get it.”
Rodreckus Johnson was only 18 years old when he was killed in 2003, and despite extensive investigations, his case remains cold. The family believes that someone out there knows what happened and is hopeful that continued awareness will encourage witnesses to come forward.
