Police identified the dead as James Edward Miller, 55, Teresa Lynn Peters, 54, and Tammy Renee Smith, 50. Detectives also said “the shooting was an isolated incident of a domestic nature” but did not detail the relationships the people had with one another.

Comments on the Decatur police posts about the shooting from people who said they knew Peters indicated shock.

Police secured three warrants for capital murder against Peters and asked anyone with information about his whereabouts not to approach him but to contact Det. Sean Mukaddam at 256-341-4167 or via email at smukaddam@decatur-al.gov.
