Brittany Bolden: Tuscaloosa Shot Dead While Her Kids Present

Brittany Bolden: Tuscaloosa Shot Dead While Her Kids Present

Brittany Bolden of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, was known as a loving mother who would do anything for her four children.

Bolden’s life came to an abrupt end at 34 years old on New Year’s Eve when she was fatally shot in a residential neighborhood in the city. When officers arrived on the scene, they thought the gunshot wound was self-inflicted. 

But as authorities began to investigate and interview witnesses – children were also present during the shooting – they found cause to arrest  Bolden’s boyfriend, Lovelle Rodgers, 34, of Tuscaloosa. He is was charged with capital murder and being held in the Tuscaloosa County Jail without bond.

Police said that Bolden and Rodgers had “domestic issues in the past.”

Bolden leaves behind children, ages 5,12,13, and 17.

A GoFundMe set up by Bolden’s family reads:

We, the family of Brittany, are looking for help for the burial of our loved one. Brittany's life ended on December 31, 2024, due to domestic violence. She leaves behind 4 children. We lost a daughter, sister, mother, and so much more with Brittany. I'm starting this GoFundMe account so that our family can give her the proper burial. Anything will help. Any questions, please reach out to someone in the family.
