| [DM] A father-of-one was mysteriously shot dead at an Alabama shopping center, leaving the normally safe community reeling in the aftermath. Stephen Justus 'Fro' Morrow, 46, was fatally gunned down at the Walmart shopping center in Sumiton in front of his wife just before 9pm on June 3. He was then rushed to the University of Alabama Hospital in Birmingham, where he was pronounced dead - but not before telling his wife, 'Kayla, I'm dying and I love you,' Al.com reports. Police have since arrested 18-year-old Timothy Braden Crawford for Morrow's murder, as his remains are being examined by the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences in Huntsville. He is due to appear in court for a bond hearing on Tuesday. In the meantime, it remains unclear what led up to the shooting, including whether Morrow and Crawford knew each other or what may have prompted the encounter. As the community now awaits answers, many took the time to remember Stephen for the loving father he was. Community members are also raising money for Kayla and Eli. 'Kayla is a devoted mother who has always worked hard to provide a loving home for her son, Eli,' an online fundraiser reads. 'Recently, her world was turned upside down when her husband, Stephen, was tragically shot and passed away. |
