A Cullman County man was convicted Thursday in the 2021 shooting death of his wife.

A jury found Thomas Leon McClellan 59, guilty of murder. He was convicted in the slaying of his wife, 50-year-old Tammy McClellan.

The deadly shooting happened Jan. 27, 2021, at a residence in the 3200 block of County Road 5 in Arkadelphia.

Authorities at the time said gunfire erupted during a domestic dispute.

The four-day trial began Monday with District Attorney Champ Crocker and Assistant District Attorney Tina Burgett prosecuting.

“The evidence at trial clearly showed the defendant intentionally killed Tammy. Her children and family have my prayers,’’ Crocker said. “They came to court every day to show support – and this office supports them.”

A sentencing date has not yet been announced.
