Michael Lee Joyner, 40, died on Saturday, December 15, 2018, at his home on Warren Lane in Decatur, Tennessee. A United States Army veteran who served in Afghanistan, he worked at Government Surplus in Decatur and was described as a loving and devoted son, husband, and father who enjoyed fishing and being in the woods.

An autopsy determined Joyner died from a stab wound. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, the Meigs County Sheriff’s Department and the 9th Judicial District Attorney General’s Office investigated. Authorities identified an acquaintance, Randall Dewey Burnette, Jr., as the person responsible for the death; law enforcement arrested Burnette the following Tuesday and charged him with one count of Second Degree Murder. He was booked into the Meigs County Jail on a $5,000,000 bond.

Does anyone have information about Joyner, his activities in the days before December 15, 2018, or about his acquaintance Randall Burnette?
