Jessie Dean Liley, 50, was shot and killed during a family dispute at his mother’s home in Marble Hill, Missouri, on January 23, 2014. The confrontation reportedly followed the eviction of Liley and his girlfriend by his stepmother amid tensions tied to alleged drug use. Liley was pronounced dead at the scene.

Authorities identified his brother, Lonnie Lee Liley, as the suspect; Lonnie was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action and held in the Bollinger County Jail while prosecutors prepared the case. A coroner’s jury later found Lonnie had acted in self-defense, though the prosecution continued and a trial was scheduled for November 2015.

Jessie was born in Lutesville, worked at Lee Roan Manufacturing Company in Jackson, and was described by family as an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed deer hunting. He is survived by three children—son Dalton and daughters Leaha and Alyssa Dawn—and other relatives. Does anyone have information about the events that led up to the January 23 confrontation?
