Blood stains lead to arrest in domestic-related murder in Tuscaloosa Monday, November 9th 2020 ![]() UPDATE: A 9-1-1 call and blood stains led police to an arrest in an apparent domestic-related murder in Tuscaloosa. Newly released court documents show deputies found 56-year-old Tammy Ledbetter dead on the living room floor of a house on Ridgehaven Drive after someone called 9-1-1 Monday morning about a reported drug overdose. Investigators said it was apparent Ledbetter had suffered a severe head wound. Court records show Ledbetter’s boyfriend was found walking about two miles from the crime scene. Investigators interviewed Eric Marquis Fowler, who court records show admitted making the 9-1-1 call and being present in the house. Fowler denied assaulting Ledbetter. Investigators arrested Fowler for the murder after finding blood evidence on Fowler’s chest and legs which they believe showed his involvement. Fowler remained in the Tuscaloosa County jail Tuesday with bond set at $150,000. Fowler had been arrested previously on domestic violence-related charges in 2017 and 2018 involving Ledbetter but two of those cases had been dismissed. A Tuscaloosa County grand jury had indicted earlier in November for domestic violence in the third degree where Ledbetter had been injured. He has been appointed a public defender in the Ledbetter murder case. A 28-year-old Cottondale man has been charged with murder in the death of 56-year-old Tammy Ledbetter. The Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's Office was called to the 1900 block of Ridgehaven Drive in Cottondale just after midnight Monday morning. When they arrived, deputies found Ledbetter deceased, the victim of an apparent assault. After finding numerous items of evidence and conducting interviews, Ledbetter's long time domestic partner, 28-year-old Eric Fowler was developed as the suspect and located. https://www.gofundme.com/f/RememberingTammy Tammy Ledbetter's Memorial Expenses ![]() |
