Body of missing Birmingham woman found shot, burned

A missing Birmingham woman is missing no more, but it's not the outcome anyone had hoped for.On May 31, the mother of two reportedly left to meet someone to make a Facebook Marketplace purchase. She never returned home. The missing persons case was solved on June 1, with a grisly discovery.Police found the burning remains of 31-year-old Jermiera Fowler on the side of Sellers Road near Roebuck. Officer Truman Fitzgerald with the Birmingham Police Department said, “Officers arrived on the scene along with Birmingham Fire Department and observed an adult female victim who had been burned. And later, we determined she was shot.” Fowler had told someone she was leaving on Wednesday to meet up with someone to make a Facebook Marketplace purchase. Birmingham police can't confirm that meetup ever happened but say your best bet is to agree to meet at a public place that's well-lit and preferably a place that's covered by security cameras.Stay up-to-date: The latest headlines and weather from WVTM 13 Fitzgerald said, “You can come to any of Birmingham police departments, precincts or headquarters. In fact, if someone is reluctant to meet you at either one of our precincts and headquarters, you should look at that as a red flag.”Police also found Fowler's vehicle at a separate location, but so far no arrests in this case and authorities aren't talking about a possible motive either.This is a developing story and will be updated as information becomes available.
