A domestic dispute at a campground in Lakeland, Tennessee, ended in a fatal shooting on the evening of December 18, 2024. Deputies from the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office responded to the Memphis East Campground on Justin Lake Cove around 9:30 p.m. after reports of a fight. They found 58-year-old Timm Rudolph unresponsive from a gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene about fifteen minutes later.

Investigators quickly identified 38-year-old Tiffany Baldwin as the primary suspect and obtained a warrant charging her with second-degree murder. Baldwin was arrested on December 26, 2024, in Earle, Arkansas, in a multiagency effort involving the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office, Arkansas State Police, and the U.S. Marshals Service. She was taken into custody without incident and held at the Crittenden County Detention Center pending extradition to Tennessee.
