Bruce Lee Deloit was 19 when he was fatally shot on the evening of July 26, 2018, at a home on Hamburg Loop in Savannah, Tennessee. The incident involved three male teenagers who had reportedly stolen several firearms from a nearby property earlier that day. Alcohol and marijuana were consumed at the residence before a single gunshot killed Deloit.

Investigators from the Hardin County Sheriff’s Office and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation handled the case. Attention soon focused on 17-year-old resident Steven Hicks Jr. A Hardin County grand jury returned an indictment in July 2019 charging Hicks, who had turned 18 by then, with one count of reckless homicide and transferring the matter to circuit court so he would be tried as an adult. Hicks was booked and later released on his own recognizance pending his first court appearance scheduled for July 22, 2019. The final disposition of the reckless homicide charge in Hardin County Circuit Court is not publicly documented.

Does anyone have information about what happened that night or about the court outcome?
