A violent home invasion in the late afternoon of June 27, 2020, ended with the death of 51-year-old James Eric Hanger at his Pleasant Grove Road residence in Estill Springs, Tennessee. The encounter began around 5 p.m. when acquaintance Brent Moon arrived and was let inside. Two other men wearing all-black clothing and masks entered with him. One or more of the intruders produced a weapon and demanded money. An argument and a struggle for control of the firearm followed; during the altercation the weapon discharged and Hanger was fatally wounded. The three men fled before Hanger was discovered.

The Franklin County Sheriff’s Department identified Brent Moon of Tullahoma as a primary suspect and issued a first-degree murder warrant, alerting law enforcement across southern and middle Tennessee. Investigators later identified J’Shaun Myrick and Paul Wayne Fletcher of Nashville as alleged accomplices. Arrests followed: Moon was taken in Murfreesboro on June 30, Myrick was captured in Franklin County on July 9, and Fletcher was arrested by U.S. Marshals in Rutherford County on August 4. All three were charged with criminal homicide in connection with Hanger’s death.

Are there details about the events inside the house or the relationships among the men that anyone can add?
