Dothan, Alabama – Harleigh Michelle Dills, 31, of Dothan, was tragically killed in a fatal shooting at the Summer Chase Trailer Park on Mance Newton Road on January 24, 2025.

Authorities responded to the scene around 9:30 a.m. after reports of a firearm assault.

Dills was found inside her home with a gunshot wound to the upper body, reportedly caused by a high-caliber firearm.
