Timothy Alfred Nelson, a 54-year-old man from Dallas, Texas, tragically lost his life on February 28, 2021. He was the victim of a fatal shooting at the Oasis Apartments on Forest Lane in Dallas. Responding officers found Nelson with a gunshot wound outside his apartment door and pronounced him dead at the scene. The investigation revealed that Titia Green, a 41-year-old woman who lived in the same apartment complex, was responsible for the murder.
Green was arrested and charged with Nelson's murder.
The motive behind the shooting remained unclear, and Green refused to speak with detectives following her arrest. Detectives found blood, a firearm, and a fired casing next to the bed in Green's apartment. The case drew significant attention due to the circumstances of the shooting and the subsequent arrest of Green.
Nelson, who was a firefighter and EMT with the Wichita Falls Fire Department for many years, was remembered fondly by his family and friends for his wit, humor, and tender heart. He is survived by his three children and three siblings. A memorial service was held in his honor at Grace Church in Wichita Falls.
The tragic loss of Timothy Alfred Nelson and the subsequent arrest of Titia Green highlighted the impact of violence in communities and the importance of justice for victims and their families.
