In the late summer of 2017, Speedwell, Tennessee, lost a longtime resident to a violent property dispute. Zachary Scott Dick, 53, was fatally shot on the evening of August 7 while removing a fence post on Leach-Medley Road. Responding officers found him unresponsive from a gunshot wound.

Investigators identified a neighbor, 47-year-old Hank Austin Williams, as the suspect. Witnesses described Williams confronting Dick and one witness — Williams’s mother, according to reports — allegedly seeing her son shoot Dick in the back. Williams was reportedly arrested at the scene without incident; deputies recovered a 12-gauge shotgun from a vehicle there. He was jailed in Claiborne County with bond set at $1 million and later indicted by a county grand jury for criminal homicide.

Does anyone in Speedwell have information about the events on Leach-Medley Road or about Zachary Dick that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
