On a September afternoon in 2023, Timothy Harville entered his nephew Scott Harville’s property in rural Alabama to search for a missing cow. An argument quickly erupted between Scott’s wife, Angela Harville, and Timothy.
Escalation to Violence
According to WAFF 48, 46‑year‑old Angela Harville challenged Timothy, saying, “Go ahead and blow my brains out.” Timothy responded by firing a shot, replying, “There you go.” The incident resulted in Angela’s death.
Prior Legal Issues
At the time of the killing, Timothy Harville was already out on bond from a December 2022 case involving shooting into an occupied vehicle and reckless endangerment. He was later indicted in June 2024 for Angela’s murder and released after posting an $83,000 property bond.
Trial Delays and Verdict
The trial was postponed after Timothy received a cancer diagnosis, but it eventually proceeded. On November 4, a jury deliberated and returned a guilty verdict on murder and related charges. Sentencing is scheduled for January.
Community Impact
The Harville family and the surrounding community are left grieving. Angela’s obituary described her as a devoted mother and a “Daddy’s girl” who treated every stranger as a friend she had yet to meet.
