On the morning of April 20, 2016, in Alexander City, Alabama, 49-year-old Elbert Clyde Wilson, a Black man, was mowing his lawn on a riding mower when he was struck and killed by a single gunshot. A neighbor, Franklin Nathan Price Jr., initially reported witnessing a red truck stop on the road and someone inside fire the fatal shot. Two days later, on April 22, 2016, Price, then 51, was arrested and charged with Wilson’s murder and two counts of burglary; he was booked into the Tallapoosa County Jail on $350,000 bond.

Price was indicted on felony murder charges in early 2017. In April 2018 Wilson’s daughter, acting as special administrator of his estate, filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Price. In September 2018 Price pleaded guilty to reckless murder and received a 30-year prison sentence plus an order to pay restitution to Wilson’s family; the restitution amount was to be determined.

Are there details about Wilson’s life in Alexander City or the neighborhood that could shed light on what happened that morning?
