Kevin Walton, 48, of Mooresboro, North Carolina, was shot to death on January 9, 2018. Born March 25, 1969, in Cleveland County, he was remembered by family and friends as a partner, father figure, and fisherman. Walton suffered five gunshot wounds—four to the right side of his chest and one to the left; investigators determined four of the shots were fired at close range. The shooting took place on the porch of a home at the corner of Gantts Grove Church and Random roads near Mooresboro.

Authorities say the confrontation began with a neighbor, Terry Ray Petty, and reportedly stemmed from an argument over about $6. A witness, Iva Webber, reported hearing the gunshots while the men were in the carport area. Petty was accused of first-degree murder but was later found incompetent to stand trial and placed at Broughton Hospital for restoration to competency; legal proceedings were delayed while he underwent evaluations and classes.

Does anyone have information about Kevin, the neighborhood, or the events that night that could help clarify what happened?
