A recent college grad who just landed her childhood dream job was allegedly shot and killed by her boyfriend’s dad, who was arrested for the accidental shooting over two months later.
Whitney Robeson, 22, was discovered with a gunshot wound inside a Trussville, Alabama home on March 7 around 9:30 p.m. She was rushed to a local hospital, where she was later pronounced dead, police said.
More than two months later, cops cuffed Jeffrey Scott Towers, the 54-year-old father of Robeson’s boyfriend, on a manslaughter charge Monday following an “extensive investigation” into the fatal shooting, the Trussville Police Department announced.
The shooting was ruled accidental by the Jefferson County Coroner — though details of how Towers allegedly mistakenly fired at his son’s girlfriend have not been released, AL.com reported.
Robeson, of Virginia, graduated from Auburn University in May 2025 with a degree in interior design. Just weeks before her death, she began her dream job as a trade consultant with Restoration Hardware, according to her obituary.
“Whitney was hitting her stride exactly the way we always knew she would. In her new role as a Trade Consultant at Restoration Hardware, this marvelous, independent woman was on the cusp of her successful career in interior design: the job she had always wanted since she was a little girl watching HGTV,” her obituary read.
Robeson was “grounded by her faith” and a member of the Delta Gamma sorority in college, her family added.
“Whitney lived with inimitable grace; keen, quiet attentiveness and loyalty; boundless generosity and an uncanny way of always knowing just what she needed to do,” the heartbreaking statement continued.
Towers’ lawyers, John Amari and Dain Stewart, described the dad as an “upstanding citizen” with no criminal record in a statement to The Post.
“What happened to Ms. Robeson was a tragic event,” the attorneys said. “While we understand that the justice system must play out, we know that the facts will show that Mr. Towers has no criminal history, has been a productive and upstanding citizen for his entire life, and is not guilty of these charges.”
Towers was booked into the Jefferson County Jail and later released on $30,000 bond.
