In the quiet community of Kimberly, Alabama, a domestic disturbance on a Tuesday evening shattered the peace and ended a man's life. Ronny Leon Stallings, a 60-year-old male, was fatally shot in his home in the 600 block of Kimberly Estates Drive on February 5, 2019. The Kimberly Police Department responded to a call around 6:40 p.m. and discovered Stallings had died from an apparent gunshot wound. The events that transpired that night were the tragic culmination of a domestic argument that had escalated with fatal consequences.
Authorities quickly identified a suspect who was present at the scene. The individual taken into custody was Ronny Stallings' own son, 22-year-old Ryan Delaine Stallings. The investigation suggested that alcohol had been a factor in the heated dispute between father and son that ultimately led to the deadly shooting.
Following the incident, Ryan Delaine Stallings was arrested and subsequently charged with the murder of his father. He was transported to the Jefferson County Jail, where he was held on a $60,000 bond. The charge brought against him marked a somber end to a family conflict that turned deadly, leaving a lasting impact on their family and the small community of Kimberly.
