A St. Clair County jury has returned a conviction for capital murder.

Daniel Parker Watson, 31, was convicted this week in the shooting deaths of 37-year-old Amber Manning and 62-year-old Timothy Davidson, which took place in Ragland on March 13th, 2023.

He was also found guilty on a third capital murder count for intentionally causing the deaths of two or more persons.

Daniel Parker Watson will be back in St. Clair County Circuit Court for the sentencing hearing on April 29th.

Our hearts go out to the families of these victims, and I would like to acknowledge the St. Clair County Criminal Investigation Division and the St. Clair County District Attorney's Office for their hard work on this case.
