Earl Jack May Sr., an 89-year-old man, died on April 16, 2016, in Lecanto, Florida, at his home on West Starlight Path. The death followed an early-morning confrontation with his son, James Troy May, 52, during which James retrieved a gun and shot his father. James later said his father had been violent toward him the previous day.

After the shooting, James reportedly fell asleep and did not contact authorities until he woke up later. Deputies who responded found Earl Jack May Sr. deceased and James Troy May was arrested and charged with second-degree murder; the investigation was ongoing at that time.
