A family in Pelham, Alabama, was destroyed over a dispute about a pickup truck in March 1997. Randy Gerald Duke, 39, and his fiancée Dedra Mims Hunt, 29, were shot dead in their home. Two young girls, Chelisa, 6, and Chelsea, 7, were found with their throats cut. The crime was reported to police by Randy’s 16-year-old son Mark Anthony Duke, who at first presented himself as a distraught son who had discovered the scene.

Investigators later determined the killings were planned. The murders occurred on the evening of March 23, 1997; all four victims were killed and the four suspects were arrested.

Mark Duke was convicted of capital murder in 1999 and initially received a death sentence that was later changed because of his age at the time of the crime. Michael Brandon Samra was also convicted of capital murder; Mike Ellison and David Collins were convicted for their roles as well. Did anyone in Pelham or the surrounding area have information about the dispute over the truck or the events leading up to March 23, 1997?
