On January 24, 2025, 31-year-old Harleigh Michelle Dill was found dead from a single gunshot wound to her upper body at the Summer Chase Trailer Park in the Midland City area of Alabama. Law enforcement were responding to a reported firearm assault when they discovered Dill, a mother of three.

Investigators identified 31-year-old Dustin Joe Rigsbee, reported to be Dill’s boyfriend, as the suspect. Rigsbee’s mother allegedly called 911 to report that her son had shot his girlfriend, and family members say he confessed. At the time of the shooting, three of Rigsbee’s children and two of Dill’s children were in the trailer.

Rigsbee fled with the children to his mother’s home in Jack, Alabama, then escaped into nearby woods armed with an AR-15, a pistol, and wearing a bulletproof vest, prompting an hours-long standoff involving the Coffee County Sheriff’s Office and the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency SWAT team. Crisis negotiators eventually secured a peaceful surrender; Rigsbee, described as a former Marine treated for PTSD, was arrested and charged with murder and booked into the Dale County Jail without bond. His attorneys later suggested the shooting may have been accidental while prosecutors pointed to his flight and the armed standoff as indicators he was a flight risk.
