A long-running neighborhood feud in Hermitage, Tennessee, ended in deadly gunfire in early October 2017. George Daniel Talley, 62, a retired Nashville Gas/Piedmont Natural Gas employee, was shot in the torso and died at the scene during a confrontation on his son’s property on Couchville Pike. The dispute involved Talley, his son Matthew Talley, 31 at the time, and neighbor Joseph Scott Drummond, 53.

Investigators say both Matthew Talley and Drummond drew firearms; Matthew suffered a nonfatal gunshot wound to the buttocks and was treated at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Drummond was interviewed at the South Precinct and arrested for resisting officers, but neither he nor Matthew was immediately charged in George Talley’s death. The District Attorney’s office received the investigation for review, and reports contain no indication that charges were filed against either man.

The shooting left a family grieving and neighbors shaken. Did anyone in the Hermitage area witness the confrontation or the events leading up to it?
