On the evening of May 3, 2015, a neighbor dispute on the 1600 block of Norris Lane in Augusta, Georgia, ended with 49-year-old Marion Levi Utley shot in the chest. First responders found Utley grievously wounded around 9 p.m.; the Richmond County Coroner pronounced him dead at the scene. Utley was described as a known figure in his community.

Authorities say the argument involved Utley and his neighbor, 60-year-old Walter L. Johnson. Johnson fled on foot after the shooting, and a manhunt followed. He was located and arrested on May 5, 2015, then charged with murder and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime and booked into the Richmond County Jail without bond. An autopsy was performed at the Georgia Bureau of Investigation crime lab in Atlanta to confirm the cause of death.

Neighbors reportedly described ongoing tensions between the two men before the shooting. Does anyone who lived near Norris Lane in 2015 have information about those tensions or the night of May 3?
