In the quiet community of Prattville, Alabama, the life of 50-year-old Timothy John Rousseau came to a tragic end on Sunday, January 8, 2017. On that day, authorities responded to a distress call at his residence on Irma Lane.
Upon arrival, law enforcement discovered a somber scene. Inside the home, both Timothy John Rousseau and his 44-year-old wife, Elizabeth Anne Rousseau, were found deceased.
Elizabeth's 24-year-old son from a previous relationship was also present and had sustained a gunshot wound to his leg but was expected to recover.
Investigators quickly determined the incident was the result of a domestic dispute that escalated tragically. The Prattville Police Department later characterized the event as a murder-suicide. Further details regarding the specific sequence of events have not been publicly disclosed. Following an investigation into the two deaths, a grand jury reportedly took no action in the case.
A memorial service for Timothy John Rousseau was held on Thursday, January 12, 2017, at the Chapel of Prattville Memorial. He was remembered by friends and family as a kind and welcoming individual.
