On the evening of January 16, 2019, 31-year-old Charles Shelton was fatally shot in a yard in the Cash Hollow Road area of Johnson City, Tennessee. Responding officers found Shelton with a gunshot wound; another person, Hailey Donald, was also struck but survived after medical treatment.

Investigators say the shooting followed an altercation when Shelton, Donald, and others arrived at a home belonging to Brandon Lynn Miller. As the group tried to leave, Miller allegedly fired from a window, hitting Shelton and Donald. Miller and his girlfriend, Summer Bentley, fled the scene and were the focus of a multi-county manhunt. U.S. Marshals later found Miller’s vehicle at a relative’s home in Seymour, Tennessee; after a brief pursuit and an abandoned car, Miller barricaded himself in a nearby residence and eventually surrendered to a SWAT team. Bentley was arrested earlier on an outstanding probation warrant.

No motive for the initial confrontation has been released. Did anyone in the Johnson City area see or hear anything about that night that could help clarify what led to the shooting?
