On May 4, 2021, deputies in the Town of DeKalb discovered the body of 40-year-old Justin Allen Massey of Richville at a residence on County Route 18. He had sustained a fatal gunshot wound. Justin was a father of seven and worked as a roofer; family remembered his love of fishing, tie-dye shirts and Scooby Doo.

The investigation produced several arrests and changing charges. Thirty-year-old John Anson was first arrested on second-degree murder and weapons charges; those murder and weapons charges were later dropped, though he remained under a felony second-degree assault charge and on probationary supervision. The probe then shifted to 51-year-old Charles Anson, who was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and making a false written statement; he was held without bail. A third person, 25-year-old Kayla Briggs of DeKalb Junction, was charged with the felony of tampering with physical evidence, accused of trying to conceal items linked to the homicide.

Are there details about Justin’s last known movements or the residence on County Route 18 that anyone can add?
