A welfare check at a Dothan, Alabama, home in the summer of 2021 ended with the discovery that 29-year-old Allie Helms Lam and her 34-year-old husband, Tue Sehn Lam, had both been shot dead in the bathroom. Deputies forced entry on July 15 and found both with gunshot wounds to the chest. Preliminary findings described the incident as a murder-suicide, with investigators believing Tue Sehn Lam shot Allie before turning the gun on himself. The couple’s two young sons were not at the residence and were placed in the care of the Department of Human Resources.

Allie was born June 26, 1992, in Dothan and graduated from Houston County High School in 2010. She worked as a certified dental assistant at Dr. Humphrey’s office and enjoyed camping with her children and crafts such as crocheting, painting, and crafting. The motive has not been released. If anyone knew Allie or has information that could clarify what happened, please share what you know.
