Danny Ray Goins, 59, was found dead inside his mobile home at 410-4 Christopher Road in Shelby, North Carolina, on November 14, 2016. Investigators reported he had been shot at least once and that the mobile home was set on fire; firefighters discovered his body while extinguishing the blaze. Authorities said the fire was likely started to conceal the shooting.

Two men from Kings Mountain — his son, Kyle Ray Goins, 37, and Timmons Ray Martin, 33 — were arrested and charged with first-degree murder and held without bond. Investigators believe Kyle Goins and Martin shot Danny Goins and then set the mobile home on fire. Police said the motive is unclear, though an argument between father and son the night before and an allegation that Kyle stole $9,000 from his father were reported.

Danny Goins owned a local body shop and was described by neighbors and family as generous and church-going. The medical examiner’s official cause of death was pending at the time and the investigation was ongoing. If anyone knew Danny, his movements that week, or has information about the argument or the alleged theft, please come forward.
