Fred Orson Barnes, 46, was fatally shot during an altercation at his brother’s home near Gillett, Pennsylvania, on the night of June 21, 2016. Fred, reported as being from Elmira, New York, had gone to Daryl Lynn Barnes Jr’s Hillside Acres residence in Ridgebury Township to retrieve belongings from a utility room. The struggle moved to a shooting when Daryl retrieved a loaded 20-gauge Mossberg bolt-action shotgun, pressed the barrel into Fred’s lower chest, and the gun discharged.

Fred was taken to Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre and pronounced dead about 4 a.m.; the Bradford County coroner ruled the manner of death a homicide the next morning. Daryl, then 51, was arrested and charged with criminal homicide, arraigned without bail, and later pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter, a plea that left him facing up to 20 years at sentencing.

Did anyone in the Gillett area know Fred or Daryl and have information about what happened that night?
