The couple says they were traveling along Huffman Road Tuesday when they noticed a little girl looking distressed and calling for help.
The wife immediately made her husband turn around, and they couldn’t believe what was about to happen next.
Jefferson County Sheriffs arrested 48-year-old Emell Peavy and he’s currently facing capital murder charges in the death of 37-year-old April Button. “She said ‘you killed my mama,’” adds the woman. “‘You killed my mama. I saw you kill my mama.’ The little girl said, ‘please don’t let him kill me.’ I said baby, ‘don’t worry about it. I’ll take a bullet today, but I won’t let him hurt you. You’re safe now.’”
“He tried to get in the car to leave, and my husband told him ‘no sir, you’re not going anywhere. You only have two choices, and that’s jail or hell.’ He held him at gunpoint until the police got there.”
