Mobile County Sheriff Paul Burch is asking the public to come forward with information in a quadruple homicide in Wilmer.
Lisa Gail Fields (Ferguson), 46, her daughter, Keziah Arionna Luker, 17, Luker’s unborn child, and Fields’ 12-year-old son, Thomas Cordelle, Jr., were found slain early Monday inside their home at 7950 Auble Moody Road.
Burch said Luker’s boyfriend’s father called for a welfare check after noticing that Luker’s phone had sent a Life360 notification. The boyfriend’s father went to the house, entered through an open door and found his 18-month-old grandchild alive and unharmed. The sheriff’s office said the grandfather immediately called authorities.
Deputies arrived and found the three victims dead in separate rooms. The victims were bound with their hands behind their backs. Fields was stabbed and her throat cut, the Cordelle’s neck was cut so deep he was nearly decapitated and Luker had been shot.
WALA reported the family said Luker was eight months pregnant.
Detectives said the house was ransacked, leading them to believe the perpetrators were looking for something. They have not determined a motive in the killings. Investigators do not believe the murders are domestic in nature.
Evidence will be presented to the Mobile County District Attorney’s Office. The DA will decide if the person or persons responsible will be charged with three counts of murder or four counts of murder, due to the death of the unborn child.
"If you have any information that may assist the investigation, please contact the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office at 251-574-8633," the sheriff's office asked. "You may also submit a report online at www.mobileso.com/crimetips/."
