In the quiet community of Wilmer, Alabama, a horrific scene unfolded on April 20, 2026, shattering the peace and leaving a family devastated. Seventeen-year-old Keziah Arionna Luker, a recent high school graduate with aspirations of becoming a nurse, was found murdered in her home. A young mother, Keziah was known for her outgoing and spontaneous spirit, her love for creative design and softball, and her deep devotion to her family.
The discovery was made after Keziah's boyfriend, who was working offshore, grew concerned when he could not reach her. A family member was sent to the home for a welfare check and stumbled upon a brutal crime scene. Keziah, her 46-year-old mother, Lisa Gail Fields, and her 12-year-old brother, Thomas Cordelle Jr., were all found deceased in separate rooms, their hands bound behind their backs. The house was in disarray, suggesting a targeted attack. Keziah, who was approximately eight months pregnant, had been shot. Her mother had been stabbed and had her throat cut, and her brother's throat had been slit. Miraculously, Keziah's 18-month-old child was found unharmed inside the residence.
The investigation into the triple homicide led law enforcement to a suspect who was known to the family. On April 28, 2026, 54-year-old William Graham Oliver was arrested during a traffic stop following the execution of a search warrant at his home. He was subsequently charged with eight counts of capital murder, with two of those charges pertaining to the death of Keziah's unborn baby. Authorities believe Oliver was at the family's home on April 19th looking for something, though the specific motive has not been publicly released. While investigators initially believed more than one person may have been involved due to the victims being subdued with zip ties and flex cuffs, they have since stated they believe Oliver is solely responsible for the murders.
