Nick Parker, 35, of Timberlake, North Carolina, was fatally shot on August 5, 2015, after a dispute with his neighbor, John Turner. The conflict reportedly began when Turner’s dogs ran onto Parker’s property and Parker shot one of the dogs. That action escalated and Turner allegedly shot Parker multiple times; Parker’s mother, Charlesina Winstead, said he was shot seven or eight times and that he was unarmed.

The Person County Sheriff’s Office investigated and charged John Turner with first-degree murder. Turner was held in the Person County jail without bond while the investigation continued. Parker’s family said the killing was racially motivated, while Turner’s friend Brian Dickinson said the shooting grew out of a long-standing neighbor dispute.
