Nakeshia Thalia Biggs-Lowe, 41, was shot and killed at her home in the 5500 block of Crestview Drive in Adamsville, Alabama, on the afternoon of July 25, 2021. A special education paraprofessional at Midfield High School and mother of a 14-year-old son and a 6-month-old daughter, she was preparing for her husband’s birthday celebration when a disagreement with her husband, Kelvin Dwight Lowe, turned deadly. The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office ruled the cause of death a gunshot wound to the head; Nakeshia was pronounced dead at 3:07 p.m. after Adamsville Police responded.

Kelvin later told investigators the shooting occurred during a struggle over a firearm and described it as accidental. Detectives interviewed a witness who had been in the home. Two days after the shooting, on July 27, 2021, Kelvin Dwight Lowe was arrested and charged with murder and booked into the Jefferson County Jail with bond set at $100,000. The community mourned the loss of a teacher and mother.

If anyone knew Nakeshia, her routine, or was in the area that afternoon, please share what you know with investigators.
