A 54-year-old Alabama man has been charged with manslaughter in the fatal shooting of his son's 22-year-old girlfriend at his home. The incident occurred in Trussville in March, and authorities made the arrest earlier this month.
Jeffrey Scott Towers faces the charge in connection with the death of Whitney Robeson, who was shot on March 7. Police responded to the home around 9:30 p.m. that evening and found Robeson with a gunshot wound. She was taken to a hospital but died shortly after arrival. The Jefferson County Coroner initially ruled the shooting accidental, though specific circumstances remain limited in public records.
