Billy Ray Bare, 39, was shot and killed at a home in Lexington, North Carolina, on May 20, 2017. Davidson County deputies were called about 7:30 p.m.; they found Bare deceased and a 24-year-old man injured at the scene.

Authorities identified 27-year-old Patrick Alan McCoy of Lexington as the suspect. McCoy was arrested and charged with first-degree murder in connection with Bare’s death and attempted first-degree murder for the injury to the 24-year-old, who has been named as Tyler Gransbury. The reports did not provide a motive.

The case drew local attention and the sheriff’s office issued updates about the arrest and charges. Does anyone have information about the events that night or knew Billy Ray Bare?
