A 13-year-old boy critically injured in a domestic shooting nearly one week ago has died.

Timothy Sampson died at 2:25 p.m. Saturday at Children’s of Alabama Hospital, according to the Jefferson County Coroner’s Office.

Timothy, affectionately called Tinman or Junior by his family, would have turned 14 in three days.

He was in the eighth grade and played basketball at Minor Middle School. His grieving family described him as loving, caring, and funny.

The shooting happened about 6 p.m. on Oct. 24 inside a home in the 100 block of 22nd Street in Bessemer.

When police arrived at the residence, they found Timothy critically wounded. He was taken to UAB West and then transferred to Children’s of Alabama where he remained until his death over the weekend.

Helvetius Hall, 53, is charged with first-degree assault and discharging a firearm into an occupied dwelling. Hall was in a dating relationship with Timothy’s mother.

Police said on the shooting stemmed from a domestic violence incident.

Hall was taken into custody at the scene. He remains in the Jefferson County Jail on $1 million bond.

Charges against him are expected to be upgraded.
