Dennis Mays suicide in early 1970s Birmingham, AL

My grandmother was Gladys Mae Skinner Bates of Birmingham AL (1909 - 1979). In 1974 (believe this is the correct year), her grandson Dennis Mays was living with her in her Birmingham, Alabama, home. While she was cooking dinner, Dennis shot himself in his bedroom (she heard a loud bang but thought it was his music). When dinner was ready, she went to get him and found him dead.

I would like a newspaper article or obituary for this suicide - family members think he killed himself around February of 1974. I am unable to locate a cemetery (possibly cremated) or newspaper article.

Can anyone help?
