Charley Perez-Dior Terrell, a 26-year-old man, was tragically killed on a Friday night in early September 2021 in Gadsden, Alabama. His life was cut short during a violent home invasion where he and a friend, 26-year-old Allison Danielle Harris, were both fatally shot. The Etowah County Coroner's Office confirmed the identities of both victims who succumbed to their injuries following the attack.
At the time of the incident, details surrounding the home invasion were scarce, with law
enforcement releasing limited information about the circumstances that led to the double homicide. The Gadsden Police Department initiated an investigation into the killings, but in the immediate aftermath, no suspects were publicly identified, and no arrests were announced. The community was left in mourning and with many unanswered questions about the violent loss of two young lives.
Charley was remembered by his family and friends as a man who enjoyed spending time with his loved ones. His hobbies included playing basketball, football, and video games, particularly playing with his daughter, niece, and nephew. He also had a passion for being on the water and boat riding. His funeral service was held on Saturday, September 11, 2021, with a graveside service at Lincoln Hill Memorial Park. The investigation into the deaths of Charley Terrell and Allison Harris remains ongoing, and as of early 2026, there have been no public announcements regarding any arrests or the identification of any suspects in the case.
