The Birmingham Police Department reports that detectives have arrested and charged a suspect in connection with a homicide investigation.  The incident occurred on Saturday, April 5, 2014 around 1030 a.m. in the 2900 Block of 27th Street North.

The victim has been identified as:

Chay ya Anders, W/F, 63, of Pinson, Alabama

Detectives believe the victim’s life was ended by the suspect who robbed the business.

Detectives were able to connect the suspect to a robbery that occurred the day before at Jack’s Food Store on Friday, April 4, 2014 around 12:33p.m. The suspect was identified by a witness as the person who robbed the store that Friday afternoon. Detectives also learned from a witness that the suspect who matched the description in the earlier robbery was at the scene of the homicide on Saturday.

“This was an extremely heinous crime where there was no regard for the victim or this community. I appreciate the Detectives and the various enforcement units for their investigative intensity in this case. This was a casebook investigation where we went from absolutely nothing to an identified suspect in a matter of hours.

Our criminal homicides have decreased significantly so far this year but we realize a single homicide is one too many for the affected family.  We can’t prevent every homicide but we have solved every case so far this year. The bottom line is if you commit a homicide in this city, we will never stop looking for you,” said Birmingham Police Chief A.C. Roper.  

The suspect has been identified as:

Bianca Holman, B/F, 25, of Birmingham, Alabama. A  Capital Murder warrant with a no bond and a Robbery warrant with a 150,000 bond has been obtained against the suspect. The suspect is in the custody of the Jefferson County Jail.
