On the evening of May 24, 2020, Danville, Alabama was rocked by a triple homicide at a residence on Flint Creek Private Drive that left 50-year-old Tammy Renee Smith, 55-year-old James Edward Miller, and 54-year-old Teresa Lynn Peters dead, and a fourth person wounded. Smith, described as a friendly white female, was found deceased inside her home under suspicious circumstances after officers responded to a possible homicide. Reports differ on the exact cause of death for the victims: some accounts cite blunt force trauma, while others report they were shot. Authorities characterized the incident as violent and tied to a domestic situation, prompting involvement from both local and state investigators.

Investigators identified a suspect, Carson Ray Peters, and a woman believed to be with him, April Hanner, and warned the public they should be considered armed and dangerous. Peters was later taken into custody and charged with capital murder. The motive and many details about what happened that night remain unclear. If anyone knew Tammy Renee Smith or has information about the events on May 24, 2020, please come forward.
