Stephen Justus Fro Morrow, 46, of Sumiton, Alabama, died after a June 3, 2026, confrontation that began inside a Walmart over a shopping cart. Investigators say the initial bump led to a verbal dispute involving 18-year-old Timothy Braden Crawford. Morrow and his wife Kayla called police from outside the store; later the couple returned to shop and exited by a different door, but Crawford reportedly followed them.

The confrontation continued in the parking area near Las Reyes 2 Mexican Restaurant. Court testimony and reports indicate Morrow broke a window on Crawford’s truck and reached inside before Crawford shot him in the chest. Morrow was critically wounded in front of his wife, transported to UAB Hospital and pronounced dead. Family members, including his son Eli or Elijah, were left devastated.

Timothy Braden Crawford was arrested and charged with murder. Prosecutors argued he was a danger to the community at a Walker County Aniah’s Law hearing; the judge set a $250,000 cash-only bond with strict conditions including house arrest and no contact with Morrow’s family or witnesses. The case remains pending. Does anyone have information about the events at the Walmart or the parking lot that night?
