The community of Wilmer, Alabama, is currently paralyzed by grief and shock following the discovery of a horrific triple homicide on Auble Moody Road. On April 20, 2026, the bodies of Lisa Gail Fields, 46, her pregnant daughter Keziah “Ziah” Luker, 17, and her young son Thomas “TJ” Cordelle Jr., 12, were discovered in their home. Officials have since charged 54-year-old William Graham Oliver with multiple counts of capital murder, including the murder of two or more persons and murder during a burglary. Sheriff’s officials noted that Oliver was known to the victims.
The scene discovered by a relative was described as targeted and meticulously planned. Each victim was found in a separate area of the house, bound with zip ties. Lisa Fields and her son Thomas suffered brutal sharp-force trauma, while Keziah, who was eight months pregnant, was fatally shot. Miraculously, an 18-month-old child was found unharmed inside the residence and has since been placed with family.
Lisa Fields is being remembered as a woman of profound faith who remained an “angel” to those around her despite life’s challenges. Her daughter, Keziah, was a recent graduate of Stanford Christian Academy with dreams of becoming a nurse. A spontaneous and loyal soul, she was a dedicated new mother who cherished her family and softball. Young Thomas, a 5th grader who excelled in math, is remembered for his infectious smile and his eagerness to move on to middle school.
As Mobile County processes this unimaginable brutality, the focus remains on the legacy of love and perseverance left behind by this family. The community continues to lift the surviving relatives in prayer as they face the difficult days ahead. May Lisa, Keziah, her unborn child, and Thomas rest in eternal peace.
