George Brooks Jennings was shot dead on the lawn of his home on Box Elder Drive in West Goshen, Pennsylvania, in the early morning hours of August 8, 2017. He was 51 and a local Republican committeeman. The killing followed a long-simmering feud with his next-door neighbor, Clayton P. Carter III.

Police had been called to the two homes earlier that day to mediate a dispute. Hours later, around 1 a.m., the argument flared again after a spotlight Jennings had set up became a point of contention. According to reports, Carter went into his house, retrieved a handgun, confronted Jennings and shot him; Jennings’s wife, awakened by the first shot, watched from a window as Carter fired a second shot to Jennings’s head.

Carter was taken into custody by West Goshen police and later charged with first-degree murder and related offenses. Prosecutors say a knife presented as a threat had only Carter’s DNA on it and alleged it was planted; Carter said he acted in self-defense and described being harassed by his neighbors. The shooting left Jennings’s wife a widow and his young son without a father.
