Brittany Bolden, 34, was killed at her home on Joyce Lewis Lane in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, on the evening of December 31, 2024. She had spent that day apartment hunting with her mother and was planning to leave a relationship and move with her four children. Around 8:30 p.m., police responded to a shooting and found Bolden with a fatal gunshot wound; initial information to investigators suggested the wound might have been self-inflicted.

The Tuscaloosa Violent Crimes Unit later developed a different account after interviewing the children who were in the home. Their statements contradicted the initial reports, and investigators arrested Bolden’s 34-year-old boyfriend, Lovelle Rodgers, on a capital murder charge; the capital designation reflects that children were present during the killing. Rodgers was booked into the Tuscaloosa County Jail and is being held without bond.

Does anyone have information about Brittany, her move plans, or what happened that night that could help clarify the timeline leading up to the shooting?
