Joshua Eric Kelley, 33, of Nebo, North Carolina, died October 3, 2017, at Mission Hospital in Asheville from multiple gunshot wounds to his torso and head. The wounds were sustained during a shootout early on October 2, 2017, at a garage on Rolling Meadow Drive after Kelley and three other men began firing into the building. Four people inside the garage returned fire in self-defense, and Kelley suffered fatal injuries.

Authorities arrested Michael Allen Spencer, 43, of Linville Road, Nebo; he was charged with four counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill and one count of robbery with a dangerous weapon. Investigators say the shooting followed a home invasion and that the people inside the garage were defending themselves. Two other men involved, Greggory Cole Lowery, 29, and Daniel McCoy Bradley, 38, both of Nebo, are being sought for questioning.

Anyone with information about Lowery’s or Bradley’s whereabouts is asked to contact the McDowell County Sheriff’s Office or Crime Stoppers.
