Woman Charged In Early Morning Murder Outside Atmore

One person is dead and another jailed after an early morning murder in the Booneville community north of Atmore.

At 1:53 a.m. Saturday, the Escambia County (AL) Sheriff’s Office responded to a domestic disturbance on Adabell Road to find 46-year old Eric Leon Rolin dead from a single gunshot wound. He had been shot by 47-year old Kimberly Hardy Rolin, according to Chief Deputy Mike Lambert.

The couple had a history of domestic violence, Lambert said, and had been arguing before the shooting.

Kimberly Rolin has been charged with an open count of murder and is being held without bond in the Escambia County Detention Center in Brewton awaiting a bond hearing on Monday.

The investigation into the murder is active and ongoing, Lambert said.
