Courtney Spraggins mother, Kimberley Walter, spoke out about her daughter’s tragic death.
Kimberley Walter revealed that she had warned her daughter not to visit David McCoy on the day of her death.
“This monster played God with my child and that was wrong,” said Walter.
Walter recounted the history of the relationship between Spraggins and McCoy, which had been on and off for two years after they met on Tinder.
Despite living in North Carolina and having two children, Spraggins often made an effort to visit McCoy in Georgia after seeing her kids.
According to Walter, McCoy was not pleased about their first pregnancy and even threatened to kill himself in front of Spraggins.
“From my understanding, he was not happy about this pregnancy. He took her out to a cornfield. He has his gun on him. He looked at her. Apparently, it was in his truck. She said David what are you doing with that. He says I’m going to kill myself.”
In an interview, Courtney Spraggins mother described her daughter’s relationship with McCoy and their history together.
Their daughter, who they planned to name Addison Mae, did not survive. Walter suspected that McCoy was cheating on her daughter.
The last text she received from Spraggins was around 10 pm, saying that she had arrived at McCoy’s apartment. However, just 16 minutes later, Spraggins was no longer alive.
What happened to Courtney Spraggins?
McCoy was living with his fiancée, Abigail, at the time of the death. Spraggins had traveled from North Carolina to visit McCoy, who had sent her money for a hotel.
Later, Spraggins quit her job and moved to Huntsville to live with McCoy, who then told her that he “needed more time” before moving in together.
She returned home to North Carolina, but McCoy told her to come back and that he would take care of her.
On January 7, 2022, Spraggins traveled for 10 hours from her parents’ home to McCoy’s apartment complex, Weston Ranch Apartments.
McCoy reportedly shot Spraggins in the head while she was inside her car parked outside his building. McCoy claimed that he did not know Spraggins, but investigators found a photo of him in her car, and McCoy later admitted to killing her.
In January 2022, David McCoy, a former Alabama police officer, was charged with three counts of capital homicide for causing the death of his pregnant girlfriend, Courtney Spraggins, by firing his weapon.
His charges include killing a person inside a car, a mother and her unborn child, and a person under the age of 14 (unborn child). McCoy has been placed on administrative leave and is currently in Madison County Jail without bond.
The case is being handled by the State Bureau of Investigation, and they intend to conduct a press conference in collaboration with the Huntsville Police.
McCoy initially reported Spraggins’ death as a suicide to 911 dispatchers, but authorities found a photo of McCoy in Spraggins’ car and brought him in for questioning. McCoy confessed to killing Spraggins after being interrogated for five hours.
Spraggins’ family plans to seek legal help regarding the situation. McCoy faces the death penalty or life in prison without the possibility of parole if convicted.
