Jeffrey Place, 54, of Eldred Township, Pennsylvania, was shot and killed at his home on Meixell Valley Road on March 19, 2014. He lived at the residence with his family; the fatal wound was to his abdomen and he died instantly. His son, Steven Powell, 30, was also shot that night and later pronounced dead at Pocono Medical Center. The family dog was shot as well.

The neighbor, Garry Flyte, 54, is accused of going to the Place home and shooting the two victims. Flyte reportedly had a history of paranoia and suspected methamphetamine use and had been making threats and alleging his neighbors were watching him. After the shootings he returned home, called 911 to report shooting three people, and was taken into custody at the scene without incident. Mental health testimony was heard during the case and Flyte pleaded guilty but mentally ill to first-degree murder; he received two consecutive life terms without parole.
