Gregory Alan Gaines, 61, was shot to death on November 18, 2021, at East Asheville Storage on U.S. 70 in Swannanoa, North Carolina. The Buncombe County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call about a gunshot victim at about 10:30 a.m. Gaines, originally from Traverse City, Michigan, had lived in western North Carolina since 1980 and is survived by his wife and six children.

Investigators say the shooter was Randall Scott McCaul, 60, of Buncombe County, who knew Gaines and shot him during a dispute. McCaul was arrested and initially charged with first-degree murder, felony breaking or entering a motor vehicle, and felony larceny of a firearm; he was held without bond. The case was one of several homicides the county investigated in 2021.

Does anyone have information about Gaines’s activities in Swannanoa or the storage facility that morning?
