Gilbert Stanley, 62, of Four Oaks, North Carolina, was shot on November 17, 2014 and his body was found two days later in a wooded area near Thomas Road and N.C. Highway 96, about five miles from where the shooting was reported. Authorities say the gunshot wound caused his death.

Police identified his stepson, Brandon Lee Slade, 37 at the time, as the suspected shooter. Slade was arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill and with possession of a firearm in violation of a domestic violence protective order, and was held on $500,000 bond. Investigators reported an ongoing custody dispute involving Slade’s 7-year-old son, who had been staying with Stanley and his wife; the motive has not been publicly disclosed.

Stanley’s funeral was held on November 22, 2014, at West & Dunn Funeral Home in Benson. If anyone knew Gilbert Stanley or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
