A neighbor dispute in Grant Township, Indiana County, escalated to deadly violence on May 26, 2014. David Ackerson, 51, and his neighbor James Buterbaugh, 59, exchanged words near Ackerson’s home on Buterbaugh Road. Buterbaugh walked away toward a gas well road; Ackerson followed and approached him there.

Ackerson was taken to Indiana Regional Medical Center and later pronounced dead. Law enforcement arrested James Buterbaugh and charged him with criminal homicide, aggravated assault, and recklessly endangering another person; he was held in the Indiana County Jail.

What details about the confrontation or the events leading up to that evening might help explain how a neighbor dispute turned fatal?
