Zach Latham is an American TikToker who was indicted in the murder case of correctional officer William T. “Timmy” Durham. He now lives in Florida with his family awaiting trial.<\/strong><\/p>\n

After Zach succeeded in killing the American policeman, it was discovered that he did it just to gain popularity on TikTok. Evidence of this claim abounds on his TikTok page where the New Jersey resident has been bragging about how he treats his neighbors and dubbing himself \u201ca cop killer\u201d.<\/p>\n

How Old is Zach Latham?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Zachary Thomas Latham\u2019s date of birth and age are not known, but he is from New Jersey in the United States. Other information about him that is readily available is that he grew up under the watch of his grandparents, became emancipated at age 17, and served in the New Jersey National Guard as a private.<\/p>\n

Zach also got married early and is working in Fort Myers as a car salesman. Nothing else is known about his family background and formative years, including the schools he went to.<\/p>\n

Why was Zach Latham Arrested?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In 2020, precisely on the 4th of May, Zach Latham stabbed an American veteran correctional officer, William Durham Sr. (William T. “Timmy” Durham) to death. The gory incident happened after William and Latham locked heads in a serious dispute very close to William\u2019s house and ended at Zach\u2019s storage.<\/p>\n

Zach had allegedly been at loggerheads with Durham’s wife for several weeks. He once made attempts to run down one of the officer\u2019s sons (a 17-year-old boy) who was riding his bicycle on the highway and a verbal altercation ensued. This incident happened in their family Vineland in a New Jersey neighborhood.<\/p>\n

The altercation turned violent as the Durhams came after Latham while he was driving home and upon his arrival, Zach lunged for the kitchen to arm himself with a stun gun and a cutter. Holding the knife, Zach swung at William Jr. (Durham’s son) but missed his target which led him to face the father and started stabbing him.<\/p>\n
