The quiet stretch of Wilmer in Mobile County turned into a scene of heartbreak this week after a mother and her two children were found dead inside their home. Authorities say the victims were 46-year-old Lisa Gail Fields, her 17-year-old daughter Keziah Luker, and her 12-year-old son Thomas Cordelle Jr. The discovery has shaken neighbors and left a surviving teenage son facing a future no one should have to imagine.
Deputies with the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office were called to the home on Auble Moody Road in the early hours of April 20. What they found inside was described as deeply disturbing. All three victims had been bound, and investigators quickly labeled the case a “heinous” triple homicide. The brutality of the crime has left even seasoned officers searching for answers.
Keziah Luker, who was eight months pregnant at the time, had her life and the life she was carrying cut short in a way that has struck a painful chord across the community. Family members say she had been preparing for motherhood, looking ahead to welcoming a new child while helping care for her younger sibling. That future is now gone, replaced with grief and unanswered questions.
Lisa Fields, known by those close to her as a generous and open-hearted woman, was remembered as someone who never turned people away. Relatives say she often opened her doors to children in need, offering food, shelter, and comfort. Her home, once a place of safety, became the site of unimaginable violence.
In the middle of this loss is Damien Luker, the surviving teenage son who now finds himself responsible for burying his family. A GoFundMe campaign created in his name has raised close to $9,000 to help cover funeral expenses. Organizers say Damien is not only dealing with emotional trauma but also the heavy burden of arranging services for his loved ones.
Amid the tragedy, there was one small moment of relief. An 18-month-old girl, believed to be Keziah’s daughter, was found inside the home unharmed. Authorities say the child is safe, though the emotional impact of what happened around her will likely echo for years to come.
Investigators have yet to announce any arrests or a clear motive. Still, they insist the case is active and that leads are being pursued. For now, a grieving family and a stunned community wait, hoping justice will come for Lisa Fields and her children.
