Adena Parton, 58, of Cosby, Tennessee, was found dead inside a home on Padgetmill Road on the morning of November 7, 2019, after a call about gunshots. Deputies arriving on scene described a volatile situation: officers took cover outside and watched through a window as a woman inside moved erratically while holding a handgun. Investigators identified the armed woman as 45-year-old Martha Styles.

Authorities reported Styles remained in the house while deputies attempted to de-escalate; the standoff ended when she smashed a window and climbed out, suffering cuts that required emergency treatment. Officials said Styles admitted to shooting Parton and she was arrested and jailed on a first-degree murder charge with bond set at $200,000. Early reports said investigators had not established a clear motive, though deputies suspected drug use may have been involved.

Parton was remembered in death notices as Adena Garver Parton, with no service planned at the time. Does anyone have information about Parton, her life in Cosby, or the events leading up to November 7, 2019?
