Christopher Lee Helser, 36, was shot and killed outside his family’s home on Jack Teasley Road near Interstate 24 in Pleasant View on the night of April 8, 2019. Deputies say gunshots were reported around 10:15 p.m. after 21-year-old Travis A. Presley arrived to confront Helser’s 17-year-old son over an argument. Witnesses reported Presley displayed a semi-automatic 9mm handgun, and Helser moved between the two young men to protect his son. Presley fired multiple close-range shots, striking Helser; deputies pronounced him dead at the scene and later arrested Presley, who was charged with criminal homicide and booked into the county jail with bond set at $500,000.

Family described Helser as a devoted father of three, ages 1, 17, and 18, and the community held a memorial service at Greenville United Methodist Church in Joelton. An online fundraiser and memorials noted his smile and willingness to help others.
