A domestic dispute in Castalian Springs, Tennessee, ended with the death of 16-year-old Bobby Transou on November 12, 2022. Bobby, a Gallatin High School sophomore, was visiting a residence on Littleton Ranch Road when shots were fired during a violent altercation and a bullet struck him. He was taken to a medical facility and died of his injuries.

Authorities say the incident began as a domestic assault. Investigators identified Devon Fields as the suspect. Fields’ wife reportedly shot and wounded him in an act described as self-defense; police say Fields then retrieved another handgun, exited the house, and fired in the direction of his wife and the juveniles who were present, one of whom was Bobby. Fields was arrested and faces charges including first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder.

Bobby’s family remembered him as a loving, caring, and respectful young man. Grief counselors were made available to Gallatin High School students and staff after his death.
