Rodney Shelton Fulgham, 23, of Boliver County, Ms. was taken into custody October 29th and charged with Felony Vehicular Homicide in the October 20th domestic violence related, hit and run death on US 61 near the Boyle Community, of Shelby Dawson Harmon, 20, of Cleveland.



Inmate: Rodney Shelton Fulgham - Boliver County Regional Correctional Facility

Fulgham, which had addresses listed in both Cleveland and Shaw, was escorted from the Bolivar County Regional Correctional Facility to the Bolivar County Justice Court and appeared before Honorable Judge Harold Ward Sr. on October 30th.


Fulgham, confined with handcuffs and leg irons, and head down, stood before Judge Ward Sr. as he was told, "It is my understanding that you are currently out on a previous felony bond for burglary,". Ward went on to say, "Since that is the case, you are remanded to custody with no bail.".


Angie Harmon, mother of the victim, posted a comment on the Facebook page created for her daughter, which has gone viral, Justice for Shelby. Mrs. Harmon stated, "Good morning ALL! Thank you for all the support and prayers! I sat in the courtroom this morning as calmly watched as this pitiful soul was escorted in and informed of his charge: Vehicular Homicide. He never looked at me as I sat at stared at him, as he walked up to face the judge. He hung his head in shame and never looked my way. All I could think was he changed so many lives forever for the choice He made on October 20, 2012. He took my Shelby's life and ruined his own. Its really really sad! No one wins! And to know he did this to the one person who truly loved him. My heart goes out to his family. I know my daughter is in a magnificent place, but if convicted, he will go to one of the worst places known.".


Agents with the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation, and the Mississippi Highway Patrol have been processing evidence at the State Crime Lab and conducting an ongoing investigation since first being contacted by the Bolivar County Sheriff's Department upon their arrival to the crime scene. The deputies were dispatched by Boliver County 911 after a call at approximately 6:10 a.m. came in by a female motorist traveling on US 61 reported that she had hit something in the highway and she thought it was a body. It has also been reported that a second 911 call came in shortly after the first by another motorist that stated nearly the same thing.


Following these two calls to 911 and the deputies being dispatched, it was reported that Fulgham, the victims boyfriend, also called 911 and reported an accident but had already driven away from the scene.


The crime scene revealed the shocking and horrific aftermath of what was discovered to be the mutilated, lifeless body of Shelby Harmon. It appeared that Harmon had been run over by two traveling motorist after being first struck by the truck being driven by her boyfriend, Rodney Shelton Fulgham, and her body propelled into oncoming traffic.


It was reported that this incident occurred in the early morning hours following an argument between Fulgham and Harmon which turned violent. Though details are sketchy and actual reports vary, this case of physical domestic violence turned deadly after Harmon broke off the relationship with Fulgham and attempted to leave the residence which they shared.


Fulgham, who at the time, was out of jail on a bond for Felony Burglary, and awaiting trial, was taken into custody for questioning but later released. His release sparked a fire that quickly turned into a raging inferno throughout the community and then spread nation wide after social media was used to spread the details surrounding he death of Shelby. Demands of justice immediately began pouring in from all over the world.


On Monday, just prior to the arrest of Fulgham, Angie Harmon posted on Facebook, "This is my daughter. She is loved by many and now being supported by thousands. I ask for your continued support. Keep making noise. Keep calling. Keep telling everyone who will listen that you want justice for Shelby .Keep your voices loud so hers can be heard.".

Just this morning, a post on Justice for Shelby read, "Out of something so viscous, devastating and heartbreaking came something beautiful... A whole world united FOR JUSTICE FOR SHELBY! And we find out that there are so many caring people in the world... Nikki".


In Memory of Shelby Dawson Harmon

Rodney Shelton Fulgham of Bolivar County Charged with Felony Vehicular Homicide in the Death of Shelby Dawson Harmon

Breaking news last night hit the Facebook page, "Justice for Shelby"!

As an update to the tragic story of Shelby Dawson Harmon...

Just 2 hours before the news of the arrest, the page posted the following status update:

"JUSTICE FOR SHELBY has almost 25000 likes, if each one of you would go ask someone in the media to PLEASE investigate and cover her story we could keep JUSTICE FOR SHELBYS GOING STRONG & hopefully get HIM LOCKED UP, for once and for all.! Thanks for each of your continued support."

Less than 12 hours ago, in a statement that followed, from the moderator of a page created to bring attention to the tragic death of Shelby Dawson Harmon, read as follows:

"Praise the lord!! Shelby is dancing! Shelton fulgham has been charge with vehicular homicide!!! Dps.state.Ms.us go there to read the full story! Thank u for ur support. Lets continue to pray and support this family throughout the trial!!"

In a public press release by Lt. Col. Larry Waggoner, Director of  the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation, he stated, "Our agents, deputies of the Bolivar County Sheriff's Department, MHP's crash reconstructionists and forensic scientists of the Mississippi Crime Laboratory have worked tirelessly to reach this point of the investigation, ".

The MBI Director went on to say, "Investigators working closely with the District Attorney and after presenting evidence and test results from the lab, an arrest warrant was issued and Fulgham was taken into custody."

It was evident from the beginning that Shelby's family and friends were not going to simply quietly mourn the death of 20 year old Shelby Dawson Harmon and sit idle as the alleged killer roamed the streets, a free man. A massive public awareness campaign was launched that attracted thousands of followers on Facebook, local and national news outlets. Shelby's story was quickly spread around the globe via "Justice for Shelby", and the response was overwhelming.

23 year old Rodney Shelton Fulgham of Bolivar County, Ms. has been arrested and officially charged with Vehicular Homicide in the October 20th hit and run death of his girlfriend, Shelby Harmon (20), on US Highway 61 near the Boyle community. Shelby was first struck by a truck, driven by Fulgham and propelled into oncoming traffic where two separate vehicles, unrelated to the domestic violence assault, ran over Harmon's body.  Shelby was pronounced dead at the scene.

Fulgham is in custody at this time and is awaiting his initial court appearance.

In a later statement posted on the "Justice for Shelby" Facebook page, Shelby's mother, Angie Harmon said in part, "...This will not bring my precious child back, but it will prevent him from harming another person! 

 Thank You ALL for your prayers and help in pushing this forward. We will FOREVER be grateful! May God bless you all, including the family of Shelton Fulgham! Please don't hold them responsible. They are hurting and need prayers , too! I, nor my family have any hard feelings towards them.
I will rest easy tonight!

Shelby's mom...."

The page has been flooded with thousands of comments from around the world and it is expected to continue as more news develops in the felony criminal case as it is heard in court.

May Justice truly be served for Shelby!

Shelby Dawson Harmon (20), Mississippi Native Found Dead - Suspected Victim of Domestic Violence Sparks "Justice for Shelby" Campaign

An investigation is currently under way into the death of a 20 year old woman found early Saturday morning. Shelby Dawson Harmon was was killed 20 October 2012, while walking down Highway 61 somewhere near the Choctaw Community in Mississippi. Information obtained from other sources indicated to SuperTalk Mississippi that Warren Strain with the Mississippi Department of Public Safety, reported that both the Mississippi Highway Patrol and Mississippi Bureau of Investigation are assisting the Bolivar County Sheriff’s Department in the investigation.

Specific details into the tragic death of this young woman are some what of a mystery at this point but allegations range from a hit and run to murder stemming from domestic violence. Various stories have surfaced from numerous sources and it will be up to the authorities to sort out all of the details and facts associated with the case. The primary focus is being placed on a report that Shelby was allegedly murdered after breaking up with her boyfriend. In a statement obtained from the victims mother, she stated that Shelby contacted a friend after a fight ending in a breakup with her boyfriend at a residence in Cleveland, Ms which she shared with him across from the crime scene. The victim was apparently struck by a vehicle and killed, but due to the circumstances surrounding the fight and questions of how she ended up in the street following the altercation, has raised suspicion as to her being a murder victim as a result of domestic violence. Shelby was struck at least once by the truck driven by her boyfriend and then knocked into oncoming traffic and run over at least two more times. The estranged boyfriend was taken into custody but has now been released pending the investigation. It has been reported that no charges have been filed against him at this time and that he was actually taken into protective custody due to death threats. These reports have not been confirmed at this time but updates will be provided as it is officially released.

Tayna Carter, a reporter for WABG out of Greenville, Mississippi reported that Harmon was murdered as the result of domestic violence after she told her boyfriend, 23 year-old Rodney Shelton Fulgham she was leaving him. The following is a quote from the reporters Facebook earlier this morning. "THE MISSISSIPPI BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION IS STILL ON TOP OF THE CASE, WITH EVIDENCE BEING TAKEN TO THE CRIME LAB IN BATESVILLE FOR PROCESSING AND DNA TESTING INCLUDING THE THREE VEHICLES THAT STRUCK HARMON. NO CHARGES HAVE BEEN FILED AT THIS TIME PENDING THE OUTCOME OF THE M-B-I INVESTIGATION. BOLIVAR COUNTY CORONER NATE BROWN RETRACTING HARMON'S DEATH AS A HOMICIDE TO UNDETERMINED ALLOWING M-B-I COMPLETION OF THEIR INVESTIGATION. BROWN STATING M-B-I REQUESTING AN AUTOPSY REPORT BUT HARMON ALREADY CREMATED MONDAY."

It is apparent that this case is far from being solved but it is also evident that there is a growing unrest erupting from not only the victims family, friends, and community, but now the entire United States is aware of her death and the story is being covered by local broadcasting such as WMC-TV in Memphis, Tennessee and national news media such as CNN. Shelby's story is gaining steam and the public is beginning to speak out. We are in the middle of October, which has been nationally recognized as Domestic Violence Awareness Month and it has been reported that Mississippi possibly ranks as high as fourth in the nation with domestic violence resulting in murder statistics. New laws have been implemented to protect victims of domestic violence but it seems that far too many incidents are still being reported, some with tragic endings.

A Facebook fan page in memory of Shelby was created a little more than twenty four hours ago by Jennie Jean Bills and already has nearly 12,000 "like's" in support of getting justice for Shelby. This firestorm page is called Justice for Shelby and it is clear that people from all corners of the globe are not only offering prayers and support for the victim and her family but are also demanding justice be served. The page is not only honoring and remembering a young woman but also keeping the world updated on the latest news surrounding her death. They are working to organize protest outside the local courthouse in response to the release of the victims boyfriend, Rodney Fulgham. Request are being made for calls into the local sheriff's department, district attorney's office, Mississippi Bureau of Investigation, and Mississippi Attorney Generals office for a thorough investigation. They have also requested that motorist traveling near the court house or local sherriff's department "honk" their horn in memory of Shelby and to also remind officials that she will not be forgotten and that "this" is not simply going away.

On a side note, there has also been another Facebook page created by an unidentified person but instead of gaining support and popularity, with a mere 29 "like's", has sparked a heated uprising due to the content that is being published there. Numerous request have been made to Facebook to remove the page called Shelton Fulgham is Innocent but as of this time, it is still online. This page has made derogatory remarks and posted grotesque pictures which make fun of the victim. From the post that are being documented, it is clear that this issue will not simply go away and tension is mounting as pressure increases for a response. "This page is disgusting and worthy of a response from Facebook...", stated one the subscribers.

It has been reported that the victim graduated from high school with a 4.0 GPA and also obtained an Associates Degree from Mississippi Delta Community College. By all accounts, Shelby was full of life and eager to continue her education.

Shelby was born on June 4, 1990 in the Mississippi Delta and a celebration of her life will be held today at Calvary Baptist Chapel, located at 36 Ward- Riddick Rd Parchman, MS . Visitation will be at 6:00 p.m. and the service at 7:00 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to the Robert Neal Food Pantry in care of Calvary Baptist Chapel, mailing address: P.O. Box 66 Rome, MS 38768.

A site has also been set up to accept donations in memory of Shelby. The details regarding the fundraiser and link are as follows:

Shelby Dawson Harmon



Kenneth Dale Walls Jr. (1979-2012) - Tribute to a Hero

Our lives are made up of many memories, some good and some not so good. Some of those memories in later years bring back emotions of happiness, laughter, or even tears. We never really feel the need to place a value on those memories, until... they are all we are left with. Then, they become all important.

These memories listed here are but a few, in the short life of a 33 year old man. A man that meant so much to so many people, who now, find themselves at a place where memories are all we have. Our lives have been left with a void that can not be replaced. A void made by the sudden passing of a man that by all accounts, represented all things that hero's are known for and generations remember.

These memories are dedicated to SPC Kenneth Dale Walls Jr., U.S. Army, (SoldierWall.com), who was born April 11, 1979, in West Point, Mississippi. Ken's family included his mother, Peggy Hill Walls, his father, Kenneth Dale Walls, Sr. and one sister, which he adored, Christy Walls Bodenheimer. Ken passed away, on September 22, 2012. (see obituary)

The path that Ken chose and ultimately traveled through his life was filled with many of the same things that make each of us no different from the other, but for Ken, many of those "twist and turns", made his life very unique.

This man grew from a quiet, shy, little boy, who loved life and loved people. Ken was taught by his parents from an early age, about the love of Jesus Christ and the sacrifice he made, by laying down his life, for our sins so that we could spend eternity in Heaven with our Father.

Ken had a heart that gravitated toward people, of all kinds, but especially those who were in need, and of course, children. These attributes of selfless service were evident in his love for God, Country, and his fellow man.

As with us all, Ken's life was burdened along the way with the consequence of poor choices, regrets, and yes, even failures. His life was no different than our own. Somewhere along the way though, he was able to not only reflect on these short comings, but he always seemed to be able to learn a lesson in life.

You see, Ken never claimed to be perfect, he never claimed to be a Saint. He only proclaimed that he was saved by grace! That faith in God and the salvation he received, has now earned him his place in the kingdom of Heaven.

This boy grew into a strong young man that in a lot of ways, lived out a fairy tale story. One of finding his way, falling in love, and becoming a father. Ken would talk about this "girl" he had met, and although he very rarely smiled for photo ops, he would always grin from ear to ear when he would talk about her. Her name was Allyson Terry, and sure enough, he would later make this special girl his wife. On April 30, 2000 they were wed. After a story of "boy meets girl", they became, "husband and wife". Mrs. Allyson Terry Walls, gave Ken, according to him, "his greatest blessing"... three times over. A daughter, Kaelyn Michelle Walls and two sons, Kenneth Dale Walls, III. and Keegan Auddie Walls. Ken could hardly contain his emotion with the birth of each. In addition to all the other titles he had previously held over the coarse of his life, the years that followed completed him. Ken found his purpose, his calling, he was now a man that added the titles of husband and father. Ken loved his children with all his heart and they meant everything to him. As they now begin a life without him, I am sure he is standing watch over them.

In addition to his love for God and his love for family, Ken had a love for his country. So much so that I remember him making the statement that, "someday, I will wear that uniform... someday!". Ken did just that! Later, he took the following oath of enlistment into the Mississippi Army National Guard and he dedicated his life to upholding it.

I, Kenneth Dale Walls Jr., do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."

His name, rank, and serial number became forever archived in the books of our nations history along side so many other American patriots. His noble and selfless service carried him from that of civilian to proudly wearing the uniform of a United States Army soldier, for sixteen years. These years of service saw many months of separation from his family, many hardships, and many sacrifices, not only for him but for his family. Ken, again, who rarely smiled for a photo op, gleamed with pride through all of it. His travels carried him to many military training installations inside the boarders of the United States, that he loved so much. This training would soon be put to the ultimate test, not once, but three different times during his life. Ken had love for his country and complete devotion to the Soldiers Creed, which he lived by...   

I am an American Soldier.

I am a warrior and a member of a team.

I serve the people of the United States, and live the Army Values.

I will always place the mission first.

I will never accept defeat.

I will never quit.

I will never leave a fallen comrade.

I am disciplined, physically and mentally tough, trained and proficient in my warrior tasks and drills.

I always maintain my arms, my equipment and myself.

I am an expert and I am a professional.

I stand ready to deploy, engage, and destroy, the enemies of the United States of America in close combat.

I am a guardian of freedom and the American way of life.

I am an American Soldier.

This creed echoed in his ears as he boarded a plane, three times, Honduras, Germany, and Iraq, in defense of this nation, with the desire to help those less fortunate, and to lend a helping hand to people he had never met. Each time, he kissed his precious family good bye, held his shoulders high, and as his eyes filled with tears, watched out the window as his beloved United States became but a speck against the vast oceans he would cross. You see, this is the heart of a soldier. Deployments into some of the harshest environments one could ever imagine, looking down into the eyes of human atrocity, poverty, and even death.

Through it all, Ken seemed to find the things that mattered most, and it was not the sacrifice he had to make. His thoughts were of his wife and kids sruggling at home with his absence. Ken also looked into the eyes of the people that called these foreign lands, home, the men, women and children caught in the middle of war and hunger. Those without food, water, clothing, or shelter. Yes, he vowed to protect America and all it's people, but these were people too, people that he had never known existed until that moment. They became his passion and he thought nothing of putting his life in harms way for them. Ken had a heart that made him special, it made him shine, it made him easy to be loved.

I can only hope that someday, his children will understand just how great of a man, "Daddy", truly was. In his short 33 years on this earth, he lived, he loved, and he served. Ken did it with devotion, with passion, with commitment, and reslove. It is my desire, through these rambling words and images, we remember the American Hero, SPC Kenneth Dale Walls Jr., for the example he set for us all, and the legacy he left behind.

The bar has been set high, for all who follow behind him...

To my brother, this is not good bye. You will be missed and our hearts are heavy with grief, but our lives were all made richer by having known you.

For all that you were and all that you forever will be, we salute you!

I pray that your wife, children, mother, father, and sister will find comfort in God and that he will console the aching hearts that they now carry.

May you find rest now, our weary soldier, in the arms of our Heavenly Father. My brother, "Shine Down" upon us until we meet again... 

U.S. Army, Be Proud!

HUAH!!!

"THE FINAL INSPECTION"

The soldier stood and faced God, Which must always come to pass, He hoped his shoes were shining, Just as brightly as his brass. "Step forward now, you soldier, How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek? To My Church have you been true?" The soldier squared his shoulders and said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't, Because those of us who carry guns, Can't always be a saint. I've had to work most Sundays, And at times my talk was tough, And sometimes I've been violent, Because the world is awfully rough. But, I never took a penny That wasn't mine to keep... Though I worked a lot of overtime When the bills got just too steep, And I never passed a cry for help, Though at times I shook with fear, And sometimes, God forgive me, I've wept unmanly tears. I know I don't deserve a place Among the people here, They never wanted me around, Except to calm their fears. If you've a place for me here, Lord, It needn't be so grand, I never expected or had too much, But if you don't, I'll understand." There was a silence all around the throne, Where the saints had often trod, As the soldier waited quietly, For the judgment of his God. "Step forward now, you soldier, You've borne your burdens well, Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets, You've done your time in Hell."
