The body found at Bayview Lake has been identified as a Birmingham teen missing since late last week.
The Jefferson County Coronerââ¬â¢s Office identified the victim as 18-year-old Sean Caribe Avant Jr. He had been missing since Thursday.
Jefferson County sheriffââ¬â¢s Deputy Chief David Agee said the death is being investigated as a homicide. Authorities said Avant was shot to death.
Avantââ¬â¢s body was discovered by a fisherman midday Monday off Mulga Loop Road just past the bridge on Bayview Drive. The fisherman called Birmingham police because he thought the person matched the description of the teen reported missing earlier in the day. Posted By Ghost
