Terra Ward, 42, was fatally shot at her home on the 300 block of Robin Road Southwest in Decatur, Alabama, on the night of Monday, July 21, 2025. Police arrived just before 11:00 p.m.; the Morgan County Coroner later confirmed she died of a gunshot wound.

That man was identified as 44-year-old Bernab Aguia. A Decatur man told police he had shot his wife while intoxicated and playing with a firearm. Aguia was arrested and charged with manslaughter and was booked into the Morgan County Jail with bond set at $100,000. The investigation remains ongoing as family and friends mourn; a former sister-in-law said Ward did not deserve what happened, and a friend remembered her as a little firecracker with a silly laugh.

Did anyone in the Decatur area see or hear anything that night that could help investigators?
