JASPER, Ala. (WBRC\/Gray News) – A husband and father from Alabama is dead after police say he was shot and killed by an 18-year-old man he got into an argument with while at Walmart.<\/p>\n

Timothy Braden Crawford, 18, is accused of shooting and killing Stephen Morrow last Wednesday in a parking lot near Walmart in Sumiton. He faces a murder charge.<\/p>\n

Sumiton Police testified at Crawford\u2019s bond hearing Tuesday that the incident started with an argument between Crawford and Morrow inside Walmart. The suspect allegedly waited for the victim outside the store then followed his car until both pulled into a nearby restaurant parking lot.<\/p>\n

Investigators testified that Morrow confronted Crawford, broke out his passenger window and reached into the truck. The 18-year-old then shot him, according to testimony.<\/p>\n

Morrow\u2019s wife, Kayla, said on Facebook that her husband\u2019s last words were \u201cKayla, I\u2019m dying and I love you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Assistant Police Chief Chris Lollar testified that he viewed video surveillance from various sources and interviewed witnesses as part of the investigation.<\/p>\n

Suspect granted bond<\/h3>\n

Crawford was arrested Sunday and brought before the court Tuesday for a pretrial detention hearing under Aniah\u2019s Law, the constitutional amendment that allows judges to deny bail in certain violent felony cases.<\/p>\n

The court determined Crawford is 18 years old, employed and has a certificate of graduation from a home schooling program.<\/p>\n

Walker County District Judge Henry Prentiss Allred ruled Crawford is a danger to the community but still entitled to bond. The judge set cash-only bail at $250,000 with tight restrictions if he is released.<\/p>\n

If Crawford posts bond, he must remain at home at all times except to go to work, attend church, visit the doctor or meet with his attorneys. He is prohibited from possessing firearms, using social media and having any contact with the victim\u2019s family.<\/p>\n
